Blackface Reveals Why Plantashun Boiz Reunion Attempt Failed
Nigerian singer Blackface, a former member of the iconic music group Plantashun Boiz, recently opened up about the challenges and ultimate failure of the group’s attempts at reuniting. In an interview on the Curiosity Made Me Ask podcast, Blackface revealed that while his former bandmates, Tuface and Faze, had made efforts to bring the group back together, these attempts were unsuccessful due to his exclusion from the process.
Blackface shared his perspective on the failed reunions and explained why he believes the group cannot function properly without him. When the host, Isbae U, asked about the possibility of a reunion, Blackface made it clear that without his involvement, the reunion would not be successful. “Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he remarked, referencing the occasions when Tuface and Faze had performed together without him.
Throughout the conversation, Blackface emphasized the crucial role he played in the success of Plantashun Boiz. He referred to himself as the “plantation” of the group, suggesting that he was the central figure that held the band together. His comments reflected his deep belief that any attempt to revive the group without his presence would never succeed. “They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before,” Blackface asserted, suggesting that prior statements or narratives about the group’s potential reunions were misleading.
His bold statement underlines his frustration with the situation. Blackface clearly feels that his exclusion from the reunification efforts undermines the true essence of Plantashun Boiz, a group that helped define Nigerian music in the early 2000s with hits like “Plantashun Boiz” and “Ready or Not.”
For Blackface, the reunion’s failure isn’t just a personal disappointment, but a reflection of the band’s inability to recreate the magic that once made them a force in the music industry. His comments also touch on the complex dynamics between the group members, showing that, in his view, any successful reunion hinges on his involvement. Without him, Plantashun Boiz, as he sees it, is incomplete.
These revelations shed new light on the fractured history of the group and give fans a glimpse into why they have not been able to reunite in the way many hoped. Despite the band’s legacy and influence, Blackface’s statements suggest that a true Plantashun Boiz reunion, one that would capture the original chemistry, is unlikely without his participation.
