‘I don stop to dey give belle anyhow’ – 2Baba Reflects on Evolution After Years in the Spotlight

Veteran Nigerian music star Innocent Idibia, fondly known as 2Baba, has opened up about a turning point in his personal journey, revealing that he has deliberately chosen to move away from certain aspects of his past and embrace change.
The singer made the heartfelt admission in Benin City, just moments before taking the stage at the MC EdoPikin Undiluted with StarBoy and Legends show.
His brief but reflective address to the audience immediately caught attention, both inside the venue and across social media, as it touched on long-running public discussions about his private life.
Speaking with noticeable sincerity, 2Baba explained that his decision to speak out was rooted in honesty and self-awareness.
He noted that personal growth and deep reflection had shaped his outlook, pushing him to live more responsibly and intentionally at this stage of his life.
The African Queen crooner also made it clear that his choice to address the issue publicly was not influenced by external pressure.
Rather, he said it was about correcting misconceptions, owning his story, and showing that growth is possible when one is willing to learn from past mistakes.
“I have stopped giving woman belle, I’m a changed man and I’m innocent. I have many things to say but I won’t entertain internet people.”
