Nigerian singer Blackface has disclosed that 2Baba, his former bandmate in the iconic group Plantashun Boiz, declined to collaborate on his new album, The Return.

In a recent interview with Television Continental (TVC), the 51-year-old songwriter revealed his intention to bring back the band once again.

He stated, “I just released the Plantashun Boiz album now called The Return and it has about 18 to 19 tracks. Faze has a feature, but 2Baba is not on the album because he is not ready to be part of it. We already had the time to go to the studio, but they don’t want it. If somebody gives you the impression that he is not ready to do this anymore, do you keep waiting or move ahead? So I moved ahead.”

Blackface emphasized his desire for recognition, particularly after Kennis Music CEO, Kenny Ogunde testified to his claims about the controversies trailing the African Queen track.

“I am not demanding anything, just my respect. I have put in so much work in this game for the people that are even benefiting from it today, for the young ones that came after. I put in a lot of work; you can’t just take me out,” he added.

For years, Blackface and 2Baba have been embroiled in a public feud, largely centred on Blackface’s claim that he wrote the hit song African Queen, which 2Baba popularized. This dispute, which began in 2015, has often made headlines.

However, in October 2023, Blackface extended an olive branch to 2Baba, publicly asking for forgiveness for past grievances and proposing a reunion for Plantashun Boiz in 2024.

In an Instagram post, he wrote:
“To be or not to be? @fazealone @official2baba @blackfacenaija @plantashunboizofficial, why not? My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing! Unity is strength and not division. Let’s go champs.”

Despite the reconciliation efforts, 2Baba’s absence from Blackface’s latest project suggests that the rift between the two may not be fully resolved.
