Nigerian music legend 2Baba has addressed the role of his former bandmate Faze in his long-running feud with Blackface. Speaking at the Made in Benue Festival in Makurdi, the singer made it clear that Faze has remained neutral throughout the dispute. His statement comes amid renewed public interest in the Plantashun Boiz legacy.
The issue between 2Baba and Blackface has lasted for several years. However, 2Baba explained that Faze has never taken sides. He stressed that Faze’s involvement in recent performances should not be misunderstood. According to him, Faze’s presence was strictly about music and shared history.
Plantashun Boiz originally consisted of three members. These were Blackface, Faze, and 2Baba. While the group made a major impact on Nigerian music, internal disagreements later led to separation. During the recent reunion performance, only 2Baba and Faze appeared on stage.
Addressing this directly, 2Baba explained that the reunion was about celebrating their legacy. He stated, “Faze has been neutral in everything. He has nothing to do with my disagreement with Blackface.” This clarification was meant to stop further speculation.
He also spoke about the absence of Blackface at the event. According to him, the situation was unfortunate but unavoidable. He said, “We are just celebrating the legacy of Plantashun Boiz. Faze is here with me, but Blackface couldn’t make it.”
Furthermore, 2Baba emphasized that the conflict with Blackface remains personal. He made it clear that he does not want others dragged into it. In his words, “The issue with Blackface has been going on for years, but I don’t want anyone else dragged into it. That’s why Faze is staying neutral.”
Fans and industry observers have reacted positively to the clarification. Many believe it helps protect the group’s legacy while acknowledging unresolved issues. For now, 2Baba’s comments underline the importance of respect, boundaries, and clarity within long-standing professional relationships, even when personal conflicts remain unresolved.
