Nigerian music icon, Tuface Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has addressed ongoing assumptions about his personal life, insisting that he is not a womanizer. He described himself as straightforward and a true “lover boy.”

In an exclusive interview with the Voice of Nigeria, the award-winning singer reflected on his responsibilities as a father and the pressures that come with fame.

“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 said.

Beyond public perception, 2Baba spoke candidly about fatherhood, acknowledging the challenges of balancing a thriving music career with raising his children.

“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 shared.

Despite occasional regrets, the singer described his children as an ongoing source of joy and pride.

“They’re amazing, brilliant people. I just wish I was there more. It touches me from all corners,” he added.

2Baba also addressed public commentary surrounding his wife, Natasha, particularly suggestions that she is overly controlling or heavily influences his decisions. He emphasized that such claims often misrepresent their relationship.

“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 stated.

Away from the spotlight and roaring crowds, 2Baba revealed a more reserved side of his personality, describing himself as naturally shy despite performing on some of the world’s largest stages.

“My profession doesn’t permit me to be shy, but I’m actually a very shy person. Sometimes I just want to be alone and chill. Other times I want to hang out. I like nature; I have my moments,” he explained.
