Blackface Naija, whose real name is Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and producer best known for his role in the iconic Afropop group Plantashun Boiz. Hailing from Benue State, he teamed up with 2face Idibia (now 2Baba) and Faze in the late '90s, dropping hits like "You and I" and "Don't You Know" that defined the Nigerian music scene back then. The group split in 2004 amid some drama, but Blackface kept the vibe going solo with tracks blending dancehall, reggae, and Afrobeat flavors.
Over the years, he's released albums like "Ghetto Child" and "Dancehall Business," and he's been vocal about songwriting credits, especially claiming he co-wrote 2Baba's massive hit "African Queen." Despite the ups and downs, including public feuds, Blackface Naija remains a resilient figure in Naija music, dropping fresh tunes and staying true to his roots with that raw, energetic style fans love.
