Blackface speaks on settling out of court with 2face Idibia
Blackface has taken to his Instagram account to share more details on the out of court settlement with his colleague, Innocent Idibia, also known as 2baba.
Recall that BlackFace and 2face Idibia were having a legal battle in court after the later sued the former N50m for defamation which they agreed to settle out of the Ikeja high court, Lagos state.
Blacface revealed that 2face Idibia and his manager Efe Omorogbe have withdrawn their defamation suit. He went on to reveal that 2face and his manager admitted to their mistakes which they have also promised to rectify.
He wrote;
“No be say i too talk my people but I’m just trying to inspire somebody or ‘trying to make common sense’ like Mr Ben Bruce would say My people “Don’t sleep on your rights” and users of peoples works make sure the writers and contributors are credited properly When you speak out, things happen and that’s why I said I will be done with this issues this year 2019 and behold here we are…
I can say that the 50 Million defamation suit filed against me by Mr Innocent Idibia aka 2face and his manager Mr Efe Omorogbe has been settled out of court as they both have withdrawn their case filed against me It’s true that they sang my song without permission and truly it pissed me off, but that doesn’t legally make them thieves as the lawyers made me to understand Sometimes the words we use matter, that’s why I apologised for using that word when my lawyers advised me…
Finally they admitted they made mistakes with my songwriters and publishers rights which they should have informed me before but they never did ,they have promised to rectify them so we wait and I hope they honour this this time and furnish me details to that effect.
