Veteran Afrobeats singer, Innocent Idibia, also known as 2Baba, has boasted that he would not go broke even if he stops doing music.
The singer stated this while addressing speculations that he might be facing financial challenges.
Speaking in a recent episode of the +234 Mzansi Podcast co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, aka Nedu, the ‘African Queen’ hitmaker clarified that he isn’t broke as reported.
He explained that he invested his musical earnings into other ventures, emphasising that he can live comfortably with or without doing music.
I’m not broke. I invested my money. I can live with or without music,” the singer said.
2Baba is reputed to be one of the most bankable artists in Nigeria and Africa.
He has investments in real estate, a record label, and the hospitality industry.
Meanwhile, 2baba has expressed frustration over his never-ending drama with his former labelmate, Blackface.
Naijaonpoint reports that 2Baba, in an interview with media personality Nedu, confirmed that he had a collaboration with Blackface but wrote most of the popular hit songs.
The ‘True Love’ crooner said he is unaware of Blackface’s intention regarding the consistent online attack.
According to the legendary singer, it is absurd and painful that Blackface has always been out to smear his name despite showing him respect.
He said, “It was a collaboration. I wrote most of the song, actually, but we wrote it together. I’m not somebody who comes and starts dragging words. I don’t know what his intentions were, and I don’t know what I have ever done to him.
“I’ve always shown him respect, but he has always been out there to smear my name. They are absurd, ridiculous and very painful at times. And, till today, I just wonder why? That’s the only thing I have in my head. What’s the reason, it’s just ridiculous.”
