Blackface Doubts Plantashun Boiz Reunion, Cites Lack Of Interest From Bandmates

Plantashun Boiz, comprised of Blackface, 2Face (now known as 2Baba), and Faze, emerged as a dominant force in the Nigerian music scene during the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, internal discord led to their initial split in 2004, with a brief reunion in 2007 before parting ways once again.

In a recent interview with Channels TV, Blackface conveyed his skepticism about the likelihood of the group reuniting, emphasizing the lack of initiative from his former bandmates.

“I don’t see that [Plantashun Boiz reunion] happening,” Blackface remarked candidly. “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.”

Regarding his relationship with his ex-bandmates, Blackface revealed a cordial association with Faze and the family of 2Baba, but admitted to a strained personal rapport with the latter.

“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,” Blackface explained. “It has to be business. There is no need waiting for who is not ready to be committed to a project.”

Blackface’s remarks underscore the complex dynamics that often accompany the dissolution of musical groups and the challenges of reconciling personal differences in pursuit of artistic collaboration. As fans continue to speculate about the fate of Plantashun Boiz, it appears that the prospect of a reunion remains uncertain, with each member charting their own musical journey forward.
