Nigerian music legend 2Face Idibia, aka 2Baba, has addressed what he describes as the biggest misconception about his public persona. In an interview with Voice of Nigeria, the singer, songwriter, and activist responded to a question about the most persistent misunderstanding people hold about him, stating: “The biggest misconception about me is that I’m a womaniser.
People think I am, but I’m not. I am just a lover boy.” Referencing a lyric from his catalog, he added: “I like women, but I dey straightforward,” emphasising his commitment to honesty in relationships. The veteran artist, known for timeless hits spanning over two decades, offered the rare personal clarification during the candid conversation.
Key Points:
The clarification offers fans a rare glimpse into how the intensely private artist perceives his own public image.
It reframes decades of public speculation about his personal life through his own lens rather than tabloid narratives.
Idibia reclaims his narrative, while audiences are invited to reconsider long-held assumptions about his character.
The distinction between “womaniser” and “lover boy” reflects his desire to separate genuine affection from predatory stereotypes.
The timing, during a reflective interview, suggests a phase of personal transparency and legacy curation.
The revelation adds a layer of introspection to Idibia’s enduring legacy, inviting renewed appreciation for the man behind the music.
