Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has apologised to his wife, Natasha Osawaru, their children, and fans following backlash over a controversial comment he made during a recent podcast.
On July 1, 2Baba stirred outrage after claiming that “a man is not built to sexually be with one woman,” suggesting that men may struggle with monogamy even while loving their partners deeply.
The remark was widely criticised as an attempt to justify infidelity.
Responding to the uproar, 2Baba released a video apology, admitting he “f**ked up” with the statement and acknowledging that his words were hurtful. “I know I’m going to get cancelled,” he said. “I’m terribly sorry. My wife and kids didn’t deserve to be dragged into this.”
He described the remark as “unlegendary” and unreflective of his true values.
He also reaffirmed his love for his family and fans, promising to be more thoughtful moving forward.
