Ruggedman in an interview with Saturday Beats stated that he doesn’t wish to dwell on the feud with Blackface as his open letter was all he wish to put out on the issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe open letter I wrote to Blackface is actually the only thing I want to put out about the matter; I don\u2019t want to take issues with him by talking about it endlessly, I received so many calls from people about this issue but I declined to talk about it any further.”<\/em>\u00a0He said.<\/p>\n
“I don\u2019t have any problem with him. The only time I spoke about him was when Tuface wanted to stage a protest but decided not to go through with it and he started talking about Tuface. He made statements like, \u2018Is it an artiste that has women everywhere that would lead a protest?\u2019 All I said was that he should relax because he was making it too obvious that he nursed a grudge against Tuface and he should let it go. Since then, we have been cool and I had even put his name as part of the performing artistes for a show that I want to do next year. We had spoken about it and he agreed to be a part of the show only for him to say unpleasant things about me in an interview.”<\/em> He added<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Going further, he said:<\/h3>\n
He said that after my hit song, \u2018Ehen Ehen,\u2019 there has been nothing from me. Even though the interviewer mentioned that I had other songs that did very well, he said that I had stopped preaching against people copying themselves in the industry. He said I should have continued the trend and I was amazed at the statement. He wants me to keep recycling concepts without evolving because that is what he has been doing and that is why I wrote what I wrote that every opportunity he gets to be in front of a camera, he keeps saying the same thing that they stole his song, \u2018African Queen.\u2019 He should go and sing another song. Like I said, I love his album, \u2018Ghetto Child\u2019, because he had some social conscious songs on the album.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cTo me, calling my name in the interview was not necessary but as he has done so, I decided to answer him and this is the last time I would talk about it. I never had any issues with him; I guess it was the alcohol they gave him there that loosened his tongue and he began to talk anyhow.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
