2Baba Opens Up on Fatherhood, Love Life, and Life Away from the Spotlight
Nigerian music legend Tuface Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has opened up about misconceptions surrounding his personal life, revealing his perspective on love, fatherhood, and the realities of stardom. In an exclusive interview with the Voice of Nigeria, the award-winning singer addressed rumors that he is a womanizer, insisting that he is simply a “straightforward lover boy.”
“The biggest misconception about me is that I’m a womanizer. I like women; I’m just straightforward. But I’m a lover boy. I love hard,” 2Baba explained.
The singer also reflected on the challenges of balancing his music career with his role as a father. With eight children, 2Baba expressed both joy and regret, noting that his busy schedule has limited the time he can spend with them collectively. “I have eight kids now. I feel blessed and happy, but the sadness comes from the fact that I haven’t gotten to spend the type of time I should have spent with them collectively. It does something to me sometimes,” he said. Nevertheless, he described his children as “amazing, brilliant people” and a constant source of pride.
Addressing public commentary about his wife Natasha, 2Baba dismissed claims that she is overly controlling, praising her as “a brilliant woman, a strong woman.” He also revealed a more personal side of himself, explaining that despite performing on some of the world’s biggest stages, he is naturally shy and enjoys quieter moments in nature or relaxing alone.
From an opinion standpoint, 2Baba’s candid reflections offer a rare glimpse into the humanity behind the superstar persona. In a culture where celebrity lives are constantly scrutinized, his honesty about love, parenting, and personal boundaries is both refreshing and relatable. It highlights the universal challenges of balancing career ambitions with family responsibilities — a struggle familiar to many, regardless of fame.
Moreover, 2Baba’s comments challenge superficial narratives that often dominate media coverage. By emphasizing his genuine love for his family and respect for his wife, he underscores the importance of looking beyond gossip and appreciating the realities of personal relationships. Fans are reminded that behind the accolades, sold-out shows, and iconic hits, 2Baba remains a devoted father, a committed partner, and a person who values quiet moments as much as the spotlight.
In essence, the interview humanizes a music icon, showing that even legends navigate love, family, and public perception — often with the same hopes, regrets, and joys as everyone else.
