Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, aka 2Baba, has officially tendered a heartfelt apology following backlash over a recent controversial statement.

Following widespread criticism, 2Baba posted a remorseful video on Instagram, acknowledging that his choice of words was poorly expressed. He said, “I know I f**ked up what I said… I’m going to face the consequences” and admitted he “didn’t say it appropriately,” taking full responsibility for the backlash .

2Baba emphasized that the remark did not reflect who he truly is, stating, “This is not me… I’m terribly sorry for allowing myself to get to that place. I own up to my mistakes.” He expressed regret for hurting “my fans, people that hold me in high esteem,” and labeled his commentary as “unlegendary” .

The original podcast discussion included insights into his personal life—2Baba confirmed that his marriage to Annie Idibia had ended, but maintained that love and respect were possible with one partner, even if sexual exclusivity posed challenges for men biologically .
