It
is no longer news that all is not well with former Plantashun Boiz members,
2face Idibia and Blackface.
For the better part of last year, they threw
several brickbats at each other, especially with Blackface accusing 2face of
stealing his song (s). In the thick of the quarrel, many expected people such
as a former member of the defunct band, Faze, to intervene in the quarrel and
prevail on them to stop washing their dirty linen in public.
However,
in an interview with Sunday Scoop, Faze stated that he made moves to get both
singers to sheathe their swords. He said, “I actually tried to make peace
between 2face and Blackface. I called them on several occasions and asked them
to settle the issue amicably. However, they have some unresolved issues between
them and I think they would settle their differences in due time. Even brothers
have rifts; so, there is nothing unusual about it. 2face and Blackface are from
the same area and they were even together before I came into the picture. They
know how to relate with each other and would come around.”
Speaking
about the impact Blackface has had on his career, Faze said, “Blackface really
did a lot for me in the early days. He used to advise me about my career and
the music industry in general. There were even times that he helped me
financially; so, I will always be grateful to him. In the days of Plantashun
Boiz, we operated like a family and we were all happy with one another.”
For
a long time, fans have waited with bated breath to know when Faze would
eventually get married as the singer recently confessed that his biggest regret
is not settling down early. When probed further about his marriage plans, Faze
said, “It would happen soon. I would rather marry someone who is not in the
entertainment industry. Entertainment is a peculiar industry because you have
odd working hours and you often have to be away. It takes a woman who is very
understanding to adjust to that kind of life.”
On
the process he goes through before releasing a song, Faze said, “It is very
important to study the market and gauge the mood of the audience before putting
out a song. If not, you would miscalculate and the result may not be pleasant.
Before I release any song, I make sure that the people close to me listen to it
and give their honest opinions about it. Based on their feedback, I could then
fine tune it to make it more appealing to a wider audience.”
