Legendary Nigerian musician 2Baba has found himself in the middle of a storm after a controversial statement on a podcast triggered outrage, prompting a public apology that has since sparked even more conversation online. In a recent appearance on the Honest Bunch podcast with Nedu Wazobia, 2Baba said a man can love a woman deeply and still cheat on her, claiming it’s just “biology.” The remark quickly made its way across social media platforms, with fans, critics, and fellow celebrities weighing in. But it was his emotional Instagram apology that shocked many the most.
The music icon real name - Innocent Idibia admitted to being out of line, writing in part: “I know I f.c#ked up with what I said … I apologise to my fans and most importantly, my wife, the love of my life, Natasha, and also my kids. I’m terribly sorry. That’s not who I am.” The apology, filled with visible regret, might have been expected to end the drama, but instead, it invited a new wave of responses, including a sharp rebuke from media personality Daddy Freeze.
Reacting on his livestream, Daddy Freeze said bluntly, “We don’t like this 2Face we are seeing.” He felt the apology was excessive and overly choreographed. “You’re not a child,” Freeze added. “You should’ve kept it short - one line was enough.” But his concern didn’t end there. The OAP hinted at a more serious issue, suggesting that 2Baba might be under the influence or control of someone else, cryptically referring to this person as “Jebeto.” He said the singer ignored multiple invitations to a private intervention, even after his brother flew in from the U.S. to support him. “People have reached out to me. His brother tried, but he still didn’t show up. Something’s not right,” Freeze warned.
As the public tried to digest that, singer Cynthia Morgan entered the chat. On her Instagram stories, she took a more spiritual tone, coming to 2Baba’s defense while calling out his wife, Natasha. “You can’t purge a man like Tuface into monogamy overnight,” she wrote. “At 49, with 7 kids from 3 women, are we surprised he thinks he’s polygamous in nature? I’m not.” She questioned whether the apology was genuine or coerced, and ended with a plea: “Pray for Tuface… Free Tubaba.”
The entire episode has left fans wondering what’s really going on behind the scenes. Was 2Baba’s apology a sincere act of remorse or the result of private pressure? Is the iconic singer dealing with personal struggles deeper than the public knows? And are Freeze and Morgan simply looking out for a friend, or stoking the flames of an already messy situation?
For someone whose career has spanned decades and whose personal life has always drawn public fascination, this might be one of 2Baba’s most vulnerable moments yet. His words - both on the podcast and in the apology have opened up bigger conversations around masculinity, relationships, mental health, and the often-blurry line between private life and public image. And while it remains to be seen how this saga will play out, one thing is clear: Nigeria is watching.
