- Blackface said most of his colleagues are jacking his songs because they love his vibe.
- However, he mentioned that they were doing it wrong by not crediting him.
Nigerian singer Blackface has addressed the long-standing notion that he frequently accuses his colleagues of stealing his intellectual property without credit.
In a recent interview with TVC, Blackface clarified his stance, emphasizing that none of the artists he has accused have denied the allegations.
Blackface explained that many of his colleagues have been inspired by his work and have incorporated elements of his songs into their own music.
However, he stressed that the issue lies in the lack of credit and proper acknowledgment.
Blackface argued that the fact that none of the accused artists have denied the allegations suggests that there may be some truth to his claims.
He said:
“People jack my vibes. They love them. It’s not their fault. If I was not me, I would be jacking me too.
“All my songs are being jacked because when you release a song it becomes a published work. The songs are all registered. There’s no song that’s released that’s not registered. Once it is in the public domain, it’s a published work. Was it published before your work?
“It’s not about whether I’ve viable proofs or not. The truth is that the action is wrong. So many Nigerian artists have jacked my songs. And these people that I’ve complained about, they have never for once denied it. So you people would have seen that and say there’s an iota of truth in what Blackface is saying.”
