Drama Looms As Blackface Calls Out Shallipopi For Allegedly Stealing His Song
Veteran Nigerian artist Augustine Obiabo Amedu, well known by his stage name Blackface, has charged Shallipopi, a colleague, with stealing intellectual property.
The former members of Plantashun Boiz asserted that Shallipopi sampled their song “Enemy Plan” without their consent for his recently released debut album “Shakepopi.”
In a video posted on his Instagram page on Sunday, Blackface asked if Nigerian singers couldn’t replicate his voice or tune when they sang.
“Una mean say if them no copy my sound or my melody them no get song to sing?” he wrote in pidgin. Alright, I don’t remix for you, therefore you’d better give up on this endeavour.
