I’m a lover boy, not a womaniser – 2Baba clarifies

Music star Innocent Idibia popularly known as 2Baba, has denied rumours of being a womaniser, saying he is simply someone who loves deeply.

The award-winning singer addressed misconceptions about his personal life in an interview, stating that he likes women and is straightforward about it, but is not a womaniser.

“The biggest misconception about me is that I’m a womaniser. I like women; I’m just straightforward. But I’m a lover boy. I love hard,” 2Baba said.

2Baba, a father of eight, spoke about the challenges of balancing his music career with raising his children.

He expressed gratitude for his family but regret over missed moments, saying he wishes he could have spent more time with his kids.

He said, “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 described his children as amazing and brilliant, “They’re amazing, brilliant people. I just wish I was there more. It touches me from all corners”.

The singer also defended his wife, Natasha, against criticism that she is controlling or overly influential in his decisions.

He praised her as a brilliant and strong woman, saying negative narratives about her are often far from reality.

“Everybody has a say in everybody’s business now. Sometimes people say very nasty things.

“You grow thick skin, but sometimes it gets to you. Reality is reality, she’s a brilliant woman, a strong woman,” he said.

Additionally, 2Baba revealed that he is naturally shy and more reserved than people assume, requiring his profession to push him out of his comfort zone.

He also said he values his alone time and enjoys nature.
