Popular dancehall singer and a former member of the defunct Plantashun Boiz group, Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo aka Blackface, has stated that he does not see the possibility of the group reuniting.
The Plantashun Boiz group, which included Blackface, 2Face aka 2Baba, and Faze, was dominant in the Nigerian music scene from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s. In 2004, the group went their separate ways, and they reunited again in 2007 but later split.
Speaking in a recent interview with Channels TV, Blackface made it clear that there was very little chance of the group reuniting again.
He added that if a reunion was possible it would have long happened.
He said, “I don’t see that [Plantashun Boiz reunion] happening. If it is something that would have happened, the members would have deemed it fit to sit down and discuss going forward. Of which they haven’t done and don’t want to do. I don’t want to cajole someone into doing what they don’t want to do.”
On his relationship with his former bandmates, Blackface said, “I talk to Faze and I talk to brothers of Innocent Idibia [2Baba]. His family are all my friends. But personally me and him we have nothing to discuss. It has to be business. There is no need waiting for who is not ready to be committed to a project.”
