Renowned music executive and CEO of Kennis Music, Kenny Ogungbe, has dismissed rumours that he was responsible for the breakup of the iconic music group, Plantashun Boiz.
Speculations have circulated that the group disbanded after Kennis Music signed 2Face, one of its members.
However, speaking on a recent episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, Ogungbe, popularly known as Baba Keke, clarified that the group had already split before 2Face approached him.
Ogungbe said, “People have been saying l’m the one responsible for the breakup of Plantashun Boiz.
“That’s not true. 2face came to me himself after the group had broken up that he wanted to sign with Kennis music and Eedris Abdulkareem told me to sign him which I did.”
Plantashun Boiz, made up of 2Face, Blackface, and Faze, disbanded in 2004 after releasing their second album, ‘Sold Out.’
The trio briefly reunited in 2007 for their third and final album, ‘Plan B,’ before going their separate ways again.
Meanwhile, famous dancehall singer and ex-member of the defunct Plantashun Boiz, Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo, better known as Blackface, had blamed former bandmate, 2Face Idibia, for the agelong rift between them.
Naija News reported that Blackface, during an interview on the latest episode of ‘The Honest Bunch Podcast’, said he and Faze are on good terms, but 2Face’s inferiority complex is responsible for their rift.
He noted it was time to bury the hatchet, stressing he had forgiven 2Face for all he had done to him knowingly and unknowingly.
Blackface also pleaded with the ‘African Queen’ crooner to forgive him for whatever he has done to him.
He said, “I and Faze are cool. Maybe 2face has inferiority complex towards me.
“It is time to bury the hatchet. I forgive 2face for everything he has done to me, knowingly and unknowingly. He should also make space to forgive me for anything I have done.”
