On his Instagram page, the legendary singer released an official statement to celebrate his 50th birthday and 25 years in the music industry. He described his journey as nothing short of amazing, which he doesn’t take for granted.
The singer noted that many who started this path with him are no longer here, and he honours their memories as he celebrates this moment.
2baba said he stands today as 2baba because of the love, prayers, and support of many, including his mother, children, wife, mothers of his children, siblings, and his entire family, who are all his backbone.
He also appreciated his management, colleagues, media, promoters, DJs, OAPs, industry players, captains of industry, government institutions, NGOs, Telecoms, Corporate bodies, financial institutions, and every single person who has supported him in one way or the other.

Earlier in the day, Natasha had penned a sweet note to him, describing him as the love of her life. Natasha pointed out the irony of how 2baba is 20 years older than her, yet looks younger than her. The Edo lawmaker stated that her joy was now complete with him, and waking up to him every morning is one of the greatest gifts she has ever received.
In July, 2baba announced a major new chapter as he officially announced the unveiling of his new management team, carefully assembled to reinvent and amplify every facet of his brand. He expressed his excitement, noting that change is a necessary part of growth, and he believes his new team understands his vision, legacy, and where we’re headed next.
In other news, the legendary singer, in his latest interview had stirred backlash with his statement justifying men’s cheating habit. He said that a man isn’t built to be sexually active with one woman and noted how a man can love a woman, but it’s impossible for him to sexually be with only one woman.
Making a u-turn, he, admitted that he fucked up and tendered an apology to his wife Natasha, whom he described as the love of his life, fans and his kids. 2baba said he was deeply sorry, and that’s not who he is.
