Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, professionally known as 2Baba, has stepped forward to address long-standing misconceptions regarding his personal life and family dynamics. In a recent interview with the Voice of Nigeria, the veteran artist sought to redefine the public's perception of his romantic history and character. He explicitly rejected the "womanizer" label frequently attached to him by the media and public alike, describing himself instead as a "lover boy" who values being straightforward in his interactions. This distinction marks a shift in narrative for the music icon, who has often found his private affairs under intense scrutiny throughout his decades-long career.
Central to the discussion was 2Baba’s candid reflection on his role as a father to eight children. He admitted to the inherent challenges of balancing a high-profile global music career with parental responsibilities, expressing a poignant sense of regret over the time he has missed with his children. Despite these challenges, he highlighted his children as a constant and profound source of joy in his life, emphasizing the importance of family beyond his professional achievements. The musician also took the opportunity to defend his wife, Natasha, against public criticism. He dismissed claims that she is "controlling" as entirely unfounded, asserting the strength of their marital bond and his own agency against persistent tabloid speculation.
Beyond the headlines of romance and family, 2Baba revealed a side of his personality that contrasts sharply with his commanding stage presence. He confessed to being naturally shy, a trait that often surprises fans who view him as a confident global superstar. This introspective look into his character suggests a man who, despite his immense fame, deeply cherishes peaceful moments and quietude away from the spotlight and the pressures of the entertainment industry. By opening up about his vulnerabilities and the reality of his domestic life, 2Baba provides a more nuanced portrait of an artist navigating the complexities of fame while striving to maintain his integrity as a husband and father.
