Former Plantashun Boiz band member Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo popularly known by his stage name Blackface has claimed that Wizkid has been avoiding Nigeria in order not to get served with a lawsuit over song theft allegations.
The singer and songwriter who made the claim speaking in an interview with The Whistlers said that he has not heard from Wizkid or Banky W after he made the song theft allegation in 2016.
According to Blackface he called them (Wizkid and Banky W) out for sampling his song ‘I like The Way’ which they changed to ‘Slow Whine without his permission.

Blackface however noted that he cannot find any of them at the moment but once he sees them and finds out where we can reach them, he will serve them notice.
HE SAID: “I CALLED THEM (WIZKID AND BANKY W) OUT FOR SAMPLING MY SONG ‘I LIKE THE WAY’ WHICH THEY CHANGED TO SLOW WHINE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.
“FROM THAT TIME, THEY HAVE NOT REACHED OUT TO ME TILL TODAY, IN FACT, I THINK THAT IS THE REASON WHY WIZKID IS NOT STAYING IN NIGERIA, HE KNOWS HE WILL GET SERVED, SO THEY ARE RUNNING UP AND DOWN FROM GHANA TO BENIN REPUBLIC TO TOGO, NOBODY CAN FIND THEM YET, BUT ONCE WE SEE THEM AND FIND OUT WHERE WE CAN REACH THEM, WE WILL SERVE THEM.”
