Legendary Nigerian musician Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has publicly apologised to his wife, Natasha Idibia, their children, and his loyal fan base following widespread criticism over a recent statement about male sexuality and monogamy.
During a podcast interview that quickly went viral, 2Baba sparked outrage by claiming that men are not naturally built to remain sexually committed to one woman. His comments, seen by many as an attempt to justify infidelity, ignited a flurry of reactions on social media.
“A man is not built to sexually be with one woman. A man can love one woman die, but it’s impossible for a man to sexually be with only one woman. It’s the biology of man,” he stated.
Social Media Reactions Split
While a few defended the comment as a “harsh reality,” the majority criticised it as insensitive and disrespectful, especially given 2Baba’s past controversies regarding his marital life. Many fans expressed disappointment, arguing that the statement undermines his image as a role model.
Public Apology and Clarification
Responding to the backlash, 2Baba posted a video on Tuesday night, retracting his earlier statement and expressing deep remorse. He referred to the comment as “unlegendary” and acknowledged the damage it may have caused.
“I know I fuc#ked up with what I said and I know I’m going to get cancelled because of it. I apologise to my fans and most importantly, my wife, the love of my life, Natasha, and also my kids. I’m terribly sorry. That’s not who I am,” he said in the emotional video.
A Lesson in Responsibility
The singer’s apology has been received with mixed reactions—while some fans have appreciated the humility, others maintain that public figures must exercise greater caution when discussing sensitive topics.
2Baba’s candid response serves as a reminder of the responsibilities that come with celebrity influence and the importance of accountability in public discourse.
