Faze Is Not Involved In My Beef With Blackface – 2Baba Opens Up (Video)

Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has disclosed his former bandmate Faze’s stance in the long-standing feud between him and their other ex-bandmate, Blackface.

Recall that Blackface and 2Face have been involved in an on-and-off feud over the years, with the former repeatedly accusing the latter of intellectual property theft, allegations 2Face has consistently denied.

Addressing fans midway through his performance at the Made in Benue Festival in Makurdi recently, 2Face said Faze has maintained a neutral stance in the dispute between him and Blackface.

He stressed that the rift does not involve Faze in any way.

“You all know that Plantashun Boiz consisted of Blackface, 2Face and Faze. But due to some unforeseen circumstances, Blackface is not with us right now.

“However, no matter the beef wey me and Blackface get, nothing concern Faze inside. So, Faze is right here with me and we will represent Plantashun Boiz,” he said.

The rift between Blackface and 2Face began after Plantashun Boiz disbanded in the 2000s.

Following their split, Blackface blamed 2Face for the breakup and accused him of song theft.

The relationship between the duo has remained strained over the years despite several attempts at reconciliation, with peace efforts often short-lived.

Landlord Reportedly Seeks Eviction Of Nigerian Singer, 2Baba And Natasha From 5-Bedroom Duplex Over Rent Issue

Popular Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, and his wife Natasha Idibia are reportedly involved in a legal dispute with their landlord over unpaid rent for their residence.

The property is a 5-bedroom semi-detached duplex with a room boy’s quarters (BQ) located at No. 27 Edwin Clerk Crescent, Guzape, Abuja FCT.

The development follows earlier claims by Natasha that the house was a gift from her grandfather to her and her husband.

That claim had led many to believe the couple owned the property.

Fresh information now making the rounds shows that the Idibias do not own the house but are renting an apartment.

Documents purportedly from the court indicate that the property belongs to a landlord who is dissatisfied with the situation.

According to the reports, the landlord has approached the court to seek approval to remove the couple from the property.

The move is said to be linked to alleged rent arrears that have not been settled.

“After several demands from our client, you went on to issue a dud cheque that was returned unpaid which we understand you are well aware of the implications.

I Feel Heartbroken Seeing The Embarrassing Videos About You – Nigerian Skit-Maker, Nasboi Writes Open Letter To 2Baba

Lawal Michael Nasiru, the Nigerian skit maker and singer, who is popularly known as Nasboi, has voiced concern for music legend Innocent Idibia, widely called 2Baba, amid the ongoing crisis and controversy surrounding his relationship with Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawuru.

Nasboi, in an open letter via his Instagram page on Tuesday, said he is heartbroken over online videos and news about 2Baba, citing the respect and admiration he has held for the music icon since adolescence.

The skit maker highlighted 2Baba’s character and humility, as well as his reserved nature, not being quick to speak about issues involving himself and his family.

Nasboi pleaded with 2Baba to reclaim his public image and take control of the current situation.

He wrote, “Dear King 2Face Idibia ( 2 baba ) @official2baba

“I feel genuinely heartbroken seeing some of the embarrassing videos and news about you circulating online. It hurts because you have always been my mentor. I’ve looked up to you since I was 16. I loved every bit of your music, your personality, and the humility you carried yourself with. In fact, you were one of the people who taught me what it means to be humble.

“You have had your criticism in the past, but your character and humility still stood tall. I never knew you as someone who fought publicly, argued online, or created drama. The 2Face I grew up loving was calm, humble, and carried himself with grace.

I know every family has its issues, but one thing I know about 2baba was how he never speaks on things like this. No matter what happened behind closed doors, you never brought it outside.


“Sir, you may have your private battles with anyone in your life that is normal but the version of events being brought online now is damaging and unfamiliar to those of us who truly love and respect you. Your current situation is presenting a side of you that many of us have never seen, and it is painful to watch.

“Please, sir… for the sake of people like me who have loved you from a young age… Please take control of this situation. We still believe in you. We still admire you. We still want to see the 2Baba we grew up respecting.

“This message is from a boy who has loved you since he was 16. I chose this particular song because suddenly, the lyrics hits differently.With respect, love, and deep concern, A loyal fan.”
