Nigerian music legend 2Baba (Innocent Idibia) has once again found himself at the center of public conversation — but this time, the singer is taking control of the narrative.
In a fresh interview that has quickly gained attention online, the iconic hitmaker dismissed the long-standing label of being a “womaniser,” insisting that the term doesn’t reflect who he truly is.
Instead, the award-winning artist described himself as a “lover boy”, explaining that his emotions run deep and that he loves intensely.
“I’m not a womaniser. I’m a lover boy,” he reportedly said, emphasizing that his approach to love has often been misunderstood by the public.
A Reputation Built Over Years in the Spotlight
2Baba has spent decades as one of Africa’s most influential artists, but his private life has often shared the spotlight with his music. Over the years, his relationships and family history have been heavily discussed in Nigerian pop culture, with his personal decisions frequently shaping online narratives.
The singer is known to have children from multiple relationships, a reality that has fueled constant speculation and criticism, particularly in entertainment circles.
Annie Idibia Divorce Continues to Spark Conversation
The renewed interest in 2Baba’s romantic reputation also comes amid lingering headlines following his highly publicized separation from actress and media personality Annie Idibia.
Their marriage was one of Nigeria’s most watched celebrity unions, with its ups and downs widely documented in both mainstream media and social media conversations.
Even after their reported divorce, public fascination with the couple’s story has remained strong — with many Nigerians still weighing in on the emotional history of the relationship.
2Baba’s “Rebrand” Moment Goes Viral
While some fans have praised the singer for speaking his truth and attempting to redefine his image, others remain skeptical, arguing that public perception is shaped by actions over time, not just statements.
Still, the conversation has continued to trend, proving once again that 2Baba remains one of Nigeria’s most talked-about celebrities — both for his music legacy and his life outside the studio.

In today’s celebrity culture, public image is no longer controlled by record labels or PR teams — it’s shaped instantly by social media, viral clips, and public opinion. 2Baba’s “lover boy” rebrand reflects a growing trend where iconic artists attempt to reclaim their narratives in real time, especially when personal relationships become headline entertainment. Whether fans accept the new label or not, the moment shows how Nigerian pop culture continues to blur the line between music legacy and personal life drama — and how legends are now forced to evolve publicly, not privately.
