Former band mates, Faze and Blackface may seem to be getting it right with recent claims. Although, things might not be so rosy between former band mates, Faze and Blackface but in a recent interview, Faze disclosed that he would forever be grateful to Blackface for believing in him.
According to Faze, Blackface did not only push him to be a great singer but was also the reason he joined the Plantashun Boys and later began living with them.
His words: “Blackface was the first person to believe in me and he was also the first person to believe in my talent. He gave me the required push to succeed as an artiste and made me realise that I had a talent which could be expanded. When I first started out, I used to go for talent hunt competitions and Blackface always urged me that I would win, surprisingly, I always won in those competitions. He is part of my success story because he made me believe that I could break through in the industry.
“Blackface was the one that urged me to join the Plantashun Boys because the combination of himself and Tuface was not strong enough. He felt that if a third party with their kind of flavour came into play, it would make the band better. He was the one that made the decision and he was right. Shortly after I joined Plantashun Boys, Blackface advised me to move in with them at FESTAC. He said that if I was going to be a part of them, I would have to stay with them so that we could all understand ourselves better and connect easily. Right now, I am very close to Tuface and Blackface and we are like family. If either of them has an event or wants a cameo appearance from me, I would always be there. I am going to do a song with Blackface very soon.”
Speaking about the rift between his former band mates, he however assured it would be settled with time.
“I know that they both have a personal issue and on several occasions, I have sat them down to discuss what the issue is. I know it is not easy and both of them do not want to tell me what the issue is but I know that with time, things would sort themselves out. I have spoken to them individually. Meanwhile, my album is almost complete and I am doing a lot of collaboration. I should release the album in November.” He said.
