Nigerian music legend Innocent “2Baba” Idibia has issued a heartfelt apology to his fans, his wife Natasha, and his children, following backlash over a controversial statement he made about monogamy and male sexuality.
In a candid moment that quickly went viral, 2Baba stated:
“A man is not built to sexually be with one woman. A man can love one woman, but sexually, it’s impossible for a man… It’s the biology of a man.”
The comment sparked outrage across social media, with many Nigerians accusing him of normalizing infidelity and disrespecting the sanctity of marriage. Critics argued that such statements reinforce negative stereotypes and toxic behavior.
Realising the gravity of the backlash, 2Baba took to social media to apologise:
“I know I f**ked up with what I said, and I know I’m going to get cancelled because of it. I apologise to my fans and most importantly, my wife, the love of my life, Natasha, and also my children. I’m terribly sorry. That’s not who I am.”
The apology has sparked mixed reactions online. While some fans appreciate the honesty and remorse, others remain disappointed and question the timing of his statement.
2Baba’s remarks have reignited conversations about masculinity, fidelity, and responsibility—especially from public figures with wide influence.
As hashtags like #2BabaApology, #MonogamyDebate, and #CelebrityAccountability trend on X (formerly Twitter), many are watching to see how his family and the broader public will respond in the days ahead.
