Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, better known as 2Baba or 2Face, has opened up in a heartfelt interview, debunking the long-held public perception that he is a “womanizer.” The veteran singer described the label as the biggest misconception about his personality, insisting instead that he is simply a “lover boy” who loves deeply and honestly.
In an exclusive interview with the Voice of Nigeria (VON), which has since gone viral across social media platforms, 2Baba addressed the scrutiny that has followed his personal life for years. He explained that his straightforward nature and openness about his feelings toward women have often been misinterpreted as promiscuity, especially in today’s social media-driven world where every move is watched and judged.
“The biggest misconception about me is that I’m a womanizer,” 2Baba said candidly. “I like women, and I’m straightforward about it. But I’m a lover boy — I love hard.”
The “African Queen” crooner emphasized that he refuses to live a double life or hide his emotions, a trait he believes has fueled the narrative around him. Rather than secrecy, his transparency has shaped how the public views his relationships.
The father of eight became visibly emotional during the conversation when discussing his children. While expressing immense pride in their intelligence, unique personalities, and growth, he admitted to a deep personal regret: not being able to spend enough quality time with all of them together due to the demands of his illustrious career.
Despite the controversies and online debates that have trailed his private life over the decades, 2Baba’s contributions to Nigerian and African music remain undeniable. With a career spanning more than two decades, timeless hits, multiple awards, and a legacy that continues to inspire upcoming artists across the continent and beyond, he stands as one of Naija’s most respected icons.
As earlier reported by NaijaChoice News, the music star has never shied away from addressing personal matters publicly, often using his platform to reflect on fame, family, and the pressures that come with celebrity status.
The interview has sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans applauding his honesty while others joked about the “misconception” claim. Nevertheless, 2Baba’s words serve as a reminder of the complexities behind public figures and the human side often lost in headlines.
