    Do2dtun expresses concern for 2Baba after singer’s suspicious apology

    Do2tun, an On Air Personality, has taken to social media to express concern for veteran singer Innocent Idibia, better known as 2Baba, stating that he needs help and believes someone is harming him.

    TheNewsGuru  reports Do2tun made this known while reacting to a video of 2Baba apologising to his wife, Natasha Osawaru, kids and fans over the statement that he cannot be sexually committed to only one woman.

    In a recent series of posts on 𝕏, Do2tun noted that 2Baba rarely addresses any issues and suggested that someone is exploiting vulnerability.

    He stated that while the apology video might be essential for communicating the chosen message, it raises the question of why 2Baba is not permitted to speak his truth as he experiences it.

    He said, “Please, I don’t like this 2afce I’m seeing. Something is not right at all. He can express himself how he chooses to, but why always make him retract a video or apologise like a child?. He is vulnerable, and someone is milking it. Whoever is holding that camera is wicked.

    “Someone is forcing him to be who he is not. 2face hardly addresses anything, even in his worst scandals. He never addresses anything like this. Something is wrong. He is regressing, and I hate it.

    “I don’t care what his personal life or choices caused for him, cos that will be our 1st choice of defence. We can’t all judge him sometimes. He can’t be wrong all the time. Even if he is, I won’t replace the masterpiece he created for his mistakes. This isn’t looking good at all.

    “The apology video might be necessary to the cause it chooses to convey, but why is it sacred to just speak your truth as he lives it? The person letting him do these videos is not making him do it for his brand but for themselves. Someone is taking advantage of his situation. At this point, I’ll say this out loud. I think 2Face needs help. Therapy or genuine evaluation. Something is not right at all.

    “I love him so much, and I don’t know how. We allow things to happen to people because we blame them all the time. How about we don’t and look at things critically? Everyone can make their choices, but not everyone deserves to live with them. We owe it to them to set them straight sometimes.

    “From experience, trauma and fear make you vulnerable, especially when you are out of your comfort zone, a happy or safe place. The floodgates will open up, and everything will seem right even when it is wrong, and vice versa. This is where you need your true friends. This is where a 2face needs a Sound Sultan. It’s quite sad.

  • Mr Eazi chooses only 2Face and Styl-Plus to perform at his wedding

    Mr Eazi chooses only 2Face and Styl-Plus to perform at his wedding

    Nigerian singer, Oluwatosin Ajibade, aka Mr Eazi, has chosen 2face Idibia and Styl-Plus as the two artists to perform at his wedding.

    The singer who recently got engaged to a billionaire’s daughter, Temi Otedola, said he would not want plenty of artists to perform during the event.

    According to him, legendary artists, 2face Idibia and Styl-plus would be the only ones performing.

    In his words: “Abeg na only Style Plus I want for my wedding.”

    He added: “Okay sorry and 2Baba too.”

    Mr Eazi engaged Temi Otedola in April and reports of their engagement turned heads on various social media platforms.

    Temi made the announcement on her Twitter and Instagram page on Sunday, April 10 alongside a video of the proposal in London.

    Recall that the couple’s engagement introduction was easily the most traditional part of their relationship.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that five years ago, they met in person through a family connection. At the time, Mr Eazi was working on the sound for his third mixtape, Lagos to London, a follow-up to his genre-breaking sophomore mixtape Accra to Lagos.

    He had begun splitting his time between Lagos, a city where he would spend formative years, and London, the latest city he had set his sights on conquering musically.

    On a rare night, out for the newcomer, one of Temi’s older sisters, who happens to be global DJ sensation Cuppy, invited him out to a gig she was playing.

    “Temi was there as well and was being nice to me. By the end of the night, I took her number,” he said.

    After a streak of unresponsive texting on her part, the already famous “Skintight” singer grew frustrated.

    “What is she doing that she cannot respond to my message?” he remembers asking.

    “A lot!” she replies. Eventually, she decided to go out on a date with her new friend. “It was a crazy night. It was like a 12-hour date!” she shares.

    The twosome went from seeing a Fela show at The Jazz Cafe in Camden to Temi reluctantly tagging along as Eazi was summoned for a radio interview.

    Following dinner and drinks, they bumped into friends and finished off the night at the club. “I ended up having to drop him home because he got a little too lit,” she giggles. “I felt like I had known him all my life after that night. That should’ve been a sign.”

    Somewhere between transatlantic flights and conversations that spilled over from night into day, Eazi and Temi slowly began to accept that they were more than just friends.

    ICE PRINCE IMPRISONMENT: 2Face awed over hope for Nigerian youths

    Following the incarceration of Nigerian rap artist, Panshak Henry Zamani, better known as Ice Prince Zamani, for assaulting a police officer, music icon, 2Face Idibia, has wondered if it is a crime to be a young person in the country.

     

    He, however, appealed for the release of Ice Prince, who is currently in Ikoyi prison for assaulting a police officer.

     

    It would be recalled that the singer was earlier arrested for assaulting and threatening police after being flagged for driving an unlicensed vehicle.

     

    Following his arraignment, 2Face emphasized the protests against the government which he stated to also be in the favor of the police while calling for the singer’s release.

     

    In his words: “Has it become a crime to be a young person in this country??? Every protest and struggle is also for u to have better pay and equipment and proper retirement benefits,” he wrote in an Instastory post.

     

    TheNewsGuru.com recalls that the Lagos State Police Command on Friday arraigned Ice Prince, for assaulting and abducting a policeman in the Lekki area of the state.

     

    The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, in a tweet, said the music artiste was driving to a destination in the state when the police patrol team in the area stopped him around 3am for driving without license plates.

     

    The policemen were said to have insisted that Ice Prince should visit the station and after agreeing, one of the policemen entered the vehicle.

     

    Hundeyin, in a tweet, said, the artiste, thereafter, abducted the policeman, assaulted and threatened to throw him in the river, adding that Ice Prince was later arrested.

     

    The PPRO said, “At 3am today, @Iceprincezamani was stopped for driving without license plates. He agreed to be taken to the station.

     

    “He, thereafter, abducted the police officer in his car, assaulted him and threatened to throw him in the river. He has been arrested and would be arraigned today.”

     

    “He (Ice Prince) is facing three-count bordering on assault, obstruction and abduction. He has been arraigned,” Hundeyin stated.

    In a post on social media handles, Blessing said that growing up she thought she would marry 2face.

     

    The 33-year-old explained that as a youngster, she often told herself that she will end up becoming the 2face’ wife but she now understands the difference between loving the talents of singers and their personalities.

     

    Blessing, who hails from Ebonyi State, insisted that 2face is still one of the most talented singers the industry has ever produced.

     

    She noted that 2face song, “African Queen”, brought him to the limelight and can never go out of fashion.

    Blessing started her career in relationship counseling following her experience in a previous relationship.

     

    She has been a victim of domestic violence and abuse and therefore admonishes others from her wealth of knowledge.

     

    She is the creator of BREAK OR MAKE-UP, a site where she posts videos and information about female empowerment and domestic violence.

     

    She is also an Instagram influencer and content creator.

     

    Her contents are a variety of articles, comments, and reactions to issues or topics related to the personal life of individuals, or in most cases, they come as advice for the younger generation who are believed to be the leaders of tomorrow.

     

    TheNewsGuru.com reports that Blessing when featured in an episode of WithChude, spoke about her failed marriage and career when she featured in a recent episode of WithChude.

     

    Blessing said she got married at the age of 18.

     

    She, however, revealed that the marriage hit the rocks less than two years due to alleged abuses from her ex-husband.

     

    The brand influencer said it took her five years to finalize the divorce from her former husband.

     

    She added that the experience made her consider offering relationship tips so as to prevent other women from going through a similar situation.

     

    “I started having sex when I was 15 and got married at 18. But the marriage did not last. I think I got married for one year and eight months,” she said.

  • 2face Idibia’s management clears air on singer impregnating another woman

    2face Idibia’s management clears air on singer impregnating another woman

    Following reports that legendary singer, Innocent Idibia, better known as 2face Idibia or 2baba Idibia 2Face, impregnated another woman, his management has reacted, saying it is confirmed to be blatantly false.

     

    His management released an official statement, noting that It is understandable for fans, friends and concerned members of public to get curious.

     

    The rumor of the singer having another baby mama on the way sprouted after he penned a lengthy apology note to his wife, and family over shortcomings.

     

    The statement reads, “It is understandable for fans, friends and concerned members of the public to get curious and seek to know why @official2baba posted an apology to his wife, @annieidibia1, family and management a few days ago.

     

    We would like to put it on record that the “why” is exactly what was explicitly spelled out in the same post – the pressure of almost a quarter of a century of superstardom and a wish to focus on making music without the burden of high expectations of a role model.

     

    Reports of him getting anyone pregnant are totally false and malicious and we urge well-meaning media platforms and members of the public to completely disregard such. It is fake news.

     

    Many would recall that this fictitious banker character has been repeatedly getting e-pregnant for @official2baba every two or three years since 2014. There is no iota of truth in this allegation.

     

    2Baba, who is also an activist, is widely regarded as one of Nigeria’s greatest musicians of all time.

     

    He is most influential for the rise in popularity of Nigerian pop music in the 2000s, and his solo debut album Face2Face (with the smash hit “African Queen”) ushered in a new wave of awareness and reverence for Nigerian music amongst Africans on the continent and in the diaspora.

     

    Prior to July 2014, he went by the stage name 2face Idibia.

     

    2Baba is the first winner of the MTV EMA Best African Act category in 2005 and is one of the most awarded Nigerian musicians in history.

     

    In 2019, 2baba, in collaboration with other well-known artists like Cohbams Asuquo and Timi Dakolo, released a song for awareness of the rights of children.

  • 2face wife, Annie Idibia unfollows him on Instagram

    Wife of legendary Nigerian singer, Innocent Idibia (popularly known as 2face) has unfollowed her husband on Instagram.

     

    This is coming after 2face baby’s mother, Pero Adeniyi, showered him with praises for his fatherly role in his kids’ lives.

     

    According to reports, 2face is currently in the United States spending time with his three kids which he shares with Pero.

     

    2face also shared a lovely video of him and three kids as they bonded.

     

    The music icon, who was excited to be with his children could be seen vibing with them.

     

    However, The latest observation presents that Annie is not interested in seeing content from her husband on Instagram as she unfollowed him, but 2face has not returned the favour.

     

    Annie has also been forced to set her Instagram page private to avoid the prying eyes of nosy fans.

     

    This was after 2baba’s actress wife claimed that her husband ‘‘slept under the same roof’’ with her (Ms Adeniyi) and her children (Adeniyi’s children ) when they vacationed in Disneyland, U.S.

     

    Neither 2baba nor Pero is yet to react to the allegations, but the singer’s brother, Charles, has waded into the matter.

     

    Pero, the dark-skinned beauty, and mother of 2face three children, has remained a constant in his life for nearly two decades.

     

    Sumnbo Adeoye nee Ajaba and his legal wife, Annie Macaulay, an actress, both bore him two children each.

     

    Ms Adeoye has been married to the General Overseer of Christian Royal Center, David Adeoye, since 2013.

     

    Pero had dominated the singer’s life for nearly two decades that many thought she would end up becoming his legal wife.

     

    In a surprise move, the veteran singer married Macaulay instead at a glamorous ceremony in Dubai in 2012.

    Pero Adeniyi

     

    How 2face and Pero started dating

    2face dated Pero in 2005 after an armed robbery attack in his then Festac apartment left him and his siblings injured and traumatised.

     

    Interestingly, Macaulay, who has known 2baba since she was 15, was also in the picture at the time. Macaulay welcomed their first child, Isabelle, in December 2008.

     

    Amidst a very turbulent relationship, Pero gave 2baba three children (two boys & a girl). She also has a 20-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

     

    Clearly a thorn in Annie’s flesh, she has remained a major reason why she (Annie) has had ‘sleepless nights’.

     

    And several instances abound. Nonetheless, there has been a lot of drama between both women in the past couple of years.

     

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) recalls that few years ago, they both fought over this issue of vacationing.

     

    In July 2018, annie posted on Instagram, appreciating estranged couples who are co-parenting and “Who don’t stress the other parents overseeing their kids’’.

     

    Pero’s relative, Eniola Titiloye, hit back at Annie, calling her a hypocrite who harasses Pero any time 2baba tries to check on her( Pero’s) kids.

     

    Three years earlier, Pero broke the internet when she posted pictures of herself and 2baba kissing passionately at his rumoured night club. The pictures went viral.

     

    In her reaction, Annie said: “ I am aware of the photos circulating the Internet with my husband and Pero Adeniyi. …Pero Adeniyi and this momentary indiscretion pose no threat whatsoever to my relationship with my husband.

     

    “As a matter of fact, for all of our children’s sake, I do encourage cordial relationships with parties involved.”

     

    “This year, my focus is solely on God, family, and my career which doesn’t give me the luxury of paying attention to any distractions.”

     

    Wife not Babymama
    For many years, Pero was believed to be 2baba’s first baby mama but her father would later set the record straight in a 2019 interview.

     

    Mr Adeniyi sort of defined her daughter’s relationship with 2baba in the interview.

     

    He said his daughter “brought 2baba into his life” when she described him as her “man”.

     

    He also claimed that 2baba was married to his daughter but went on to marry another woman (Macaulay) despite the fact that she gave him his first three children.

     

    Mr Adeniyi described Pero as very enterprising and business inclined.

    2face

     

    Reconciliation
    Prior to their infamous ‘public’ reconciliation at the Crescendo Lounge in Ikeja, Lagos, in November 2018, Pero and Annie were erstwhile sworn enemies.

     

    2face broke down in tears after his wife and his first baby mama settled their rift.

     

    Both women finally hugged each other to the delight of guests at the event while 2face’s popular hit track, One Love, played in the background.

     

    The singer wept uncontrollably on Pero’s shoulders before Annie stepped in and they all hugged.

     

    Despite all the media attention she has received in nearly two decades, Pero has never granted an interview nor responded to speculations about the status of her relationship with 2face.

     

    She has never been romantically linked to any man in all these years at least, publicly.

     

    However, she has continued to keep her over 55,000 Instagram followers updated on her life milestones and precious moments.

     

    She also regularly shared photos and videos of 2face and their children anytime he visits them in the U.S.
