Blackface has taken the rift between himself and former music mate, 2face Idibia (2baba) to a whole new level.
Recall that Blackface in an interview with Entertainment Splash hosts, Honeypot and Foladele gave conditions for settling his beef with 2face. But obviously, those conditions are not met and Blackface has now taken to social media to announce the release of a new diss track titled War.

Blackface in an interview with media personalities, Honeypot and Foladele Falana on TVC’s entertainment Splash, suggested that 2Face indirectly threw shots at him after he left Plantashun Boiz because he (2Face) knows he got skills and sees him as a problem.
The rift between these two have been on for a long time – since 2004 as long as we can remember. The artistes have been at loggerhead following the break-up of the group in 2004, with Blackface claiming he wrote the song, ‘African Queen’, which was a hit single from 2face Idibia’s debut solo album, ‘Face2Face’.
This war has waged on for several years with threats of court cases and rumoured settlements.
The enmity however resurfaced in 2014, when another single, Let Somebody Love You from 2face’s Ascension album reportedly contained lyrics written by Blackface.
This led to Blackface raising a storm on various media platforms, claiming his former bandmate stole the song from him and included his manager [Efe Omorogbe] as a co-writer, without any credit given to him.

Recall that in 2017, Blackface was a guest on Pulse Loosetalk Podcast, where he restated these claims, which led to a response from 2face, who accused him of defaming his character, with Efe Omorogbe.
In a letter which was sent through 2Face’s lawyers, Seun Omotoba & Co, 2Baba demanded that BlackfaceNaija retract his comments.
Blackface Naija revealed this on Instagram saying, “2face Idibia and his manager Efe Omorogbe sued me for 50Million.They claiming I didn’t write Let Somebody Love You and African Queen and What Else.
“Just about time me and my legal team and I filed for my defense. I will release my album, Rising Sun (defendervol2).”
