Comedian Basketmouth Takes a Swipe at Blackface

Nigerian comedian Basketmouth, who debuted on NaijaTurnUP with the track “Dia Fada” (Ft. Sound Sultan and Item 7) in February this year, has taken an irreverent humour swipe on former Plantashun Boyz member Blackface.

Since Plantashun Boyz split, Blackface has been at war with former band member 2Baba over song ownership. Blackface has being claiming that “African Queen,” which 2Baba released to international acclaim over a decade ago, is his. He also claim ownership of some other songs 2Baba has released.

“I no fit explain your problem,” 2Baba had lashed out at some point. The acrimony between the two has heated up to the point of 2Baba initiating a N50 million suit against Blackface.

Not much has been heard about that suit recently. Blackface rather took the spotlight when he released “War (2Face Diss)” a few days back, accusing 2Baba of being gay, among others.

This is when comedian Basketmouth stepped in. He tweeted: ” Black Face …. why naaaa????? @Official2baba I don tell you make you find small N72,500 settle this boy since. You no dey hear word.“

Twitter nearly shut down in laughter.

Well, what do you think? Will N72,500 settle the rift between 2Baba and Blackface? You may wish to join the conversation by dropping your thoughts in the comment section.
