Veteran Nigerian music star Innocent Idibia, globally known as 2Baba, has publicly declared a significant personal transformation, stating he has put an end to his former lifestyle and is now a reformed and focused man.
A Public Confession on Stage
The iconic singer, famous for hits like African Queen, made this revelation during a live performance at comedian MC Edo Pikin's Undiluted show on December 23, 2025, in Benin City. 2Baba addressed the audience directly, aiming to correct long-standing narratives about his personal life and romantic reputation.
He emphasized that his confession was not for mere entertainment or to chase online clout but a deliberate effort to set the record straight. The father of several children from multiple past relationships stated he would continue to speak openly about this change wherever he goes.
'I Don Stop to Dey Give Women Belle'
In his own words, 2Baba declared a clear end to his previous behavior. "I got confession. I dey make this confession everywhere I go now. To set the record straight. I don stop to dey give women belle anyhow. I don stop to dey do that," he told the crowd.
He described himself as now being 'innocent' and suggested that those who know him personally can vouch for his changed character. 2Baba also mentioned that while he has more to say, he would no longer use the internet to engage or entertain people with his personal stories, noting that he and his wife, Natasha, have given the public over two years' worth of content.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Netizens
The singer's declaration quickly sparked a wave of reactions across social media platforms, with Nigerians sharing diverse opinions on his past and present.
One user, @prettie_gift, pointedly remarked, "Imagine how 2Face said he doesn't impregnate women now. Emphasis on now. That alone tells you he knew exactly what he was doing from the beginning."
Another comment from @rosemary_isong read, "You see. When he was with Anni he publicly said he can't stay with one woman. A man will get used to how u train him n what u tolerate. King Natasha God bless you. U fit train tiger."
Some reactions were more cautious or skeptical. User @didi_chyray advised, "I hope she gave you permission to say this, because I no wan see any yeye video after this," while @ndukwu_nwanyinma simply quipped, "Innocent wey no dey innocent."
Another netizen, @alexzito388, offered a warning: "When he starts saying this, he's about to flee. Natasha must keep a close watch on him; his next target might be close."
Grand Welcome in Benin for 2Baba and Wife
The confession came shortly after 2Baba and his wife, Honourable Natasha Osawaru Idibia, received a grand and festive welcome upon their arrival at the Benin airport in Edo State. The couple traveled to the region for the holiday celebrations and for MC Edo Pikin's show where 2Baba was scheduled to perform.
Videos of their warm reception trended online, adding to the recent public focus on their marriage following years of public scrutiny into the singer's personal life. This trip and his subsequent on-stage statements have placed the veteran artiste firmly back in the spotlight for his personal evolution.
