Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, better known as 2Baba, has addressed persistent rumours about his personal life, asserting that he is not a womaniser but someone who genuinely loves women.
“The biggest misconception about me is that I’m a womaniser. I like women; I’m just straightforward. But I’m a lover boy. I love hard,” 2Baba said in a conversation with Voice of Nigeria.
The singer also reflected on the challenges of raising eight children while managing a high-profile music career. “I have eight kids now. I feel blessed and happy, but the sadness comes from the fact that I haven’t gotten to spend the type of time I should have spent with them collectively. It does something to me sometimes. They’re amazing, brilliant people. I just wish I was there more. It touches me from all corners,” he explained.
On public speculation about his wife, Natasha, 2Baba dismissed claims that she has undue influence over him. “Everybody has a say in everybody’s business now. Sometimes people say very nasty things. You grow thick skin, but sometimes it gets to you. Reality is reality, she’s a brilliant woman, a strong woman,” he said.
Despite his fame and international performances, 2Baba revealed a more reserved side, admitting to being naturally shy. “My profession doesn’t permit me to be shy, but I’m actually a very shy person. Sometimes I just want to be alone and chill. Other times I want to hang out. I like nature; I have my moments,” he shared.
He concluded by emphasizing that while his public life may seem glamorous, he values quiet moments and personal connections just as much as the spotlight.
