RMD Celebrates 2Baba at 50 With Heartfelt Message

Veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) has joined fans and celebrities in celebrating the golden jubilee of Nigerian music legend Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba.

In a heartfelt note shared on Instagram, RMD described 2Baba as his “star boy,” reflecting on the singer’s impact not just on the entertainment industry but also on his personal journey.

He wrote:

“2baba, happy 50th birthday brother.
Come rain or shine, everybody get their own for body.
You’ll always remain my star boy. I became a fan from the first day I met you and had the privilege to invite you on stage.

Thank you for the music. Thank you for the memories and journeys we’ve shared. I love you bro!”

2Baba, whose career has spanned over two decades, remains one of Africa’s most influential voices in music. From his timeless hit “African Queen” to his socially conscious songs, he has carved a legacy that bridges generations.

Opinion: A Star Who Never Dims

RMD’s tribute speaks volumes about the enduring influence of 2Baba. Turning 50 is not just a personal milestone for the singer; it’s a cultural marker for the entire Nigerian entertainment industry.

Few artists have managed to remain relevant across decades of changing trends, but 2Baba continues to prove that true artistry is timeless. His songs are more than melodies—they’re stories, reflections, and sometimes even prayers that Nigerians and Africans worldwide hold close to their hearts.

In celebrating him, RMD reminds us that legends don’t just entertain—they inspire, mentor, and leave a legacy bigger than themselves. And in 2Baba’s case, that legacy is one of resilience, creativity, and love for the art that made him a household name.

At 50, 2Baba isn’t just a music icon—he is living proof that stars may age, but they never stop shining.
