I like women but I’m not a womanizer – 2FACE

Thursday, February 12, 2026 - Nigerian music star, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has dismissed long-standing public perceptions about his personal life, saying he is not a womaniser but simply someone who loves deeply.

The award-winning singer made the clarification during an interview with Voice of Nigeria which was shared on Wednesday, where he reflected on fame, family, and the pressures of public scrutiny.

“The biggest misconception about me is that I’m a womaniser. I like women; I’m just straightforward. But I’m a lover boy. I love hard,” 2Baba said.

Speaking on fatherhood, the artiste revealed that one of his greatest personal struggles has been balancing his music career with raising his children.

He said although he feels grateful to have eight children, he sometimes regrets not spending as much time with them as he would have wished.

He said, “I have eight kids now. I feel blessed and happy, but the sadness comes from the fact that I haven’t gotten to spend the type of time I should have spent with them collectively. It does something to me sometimes.”

Despite that, he described his children as a constant sources of pride and joy

“They’re amazing, brilliant people. I just wish I was there more. It touches me from all corners,” he said.

The singer also addressed criticism directed at his wife, Natasha, particularly claims that she is controlling or overly influential in his decisions.

According to him, such narratives are often far from reality.

“Everybody has a say in everybody’s business now. Sometimes people say very nasty things.

“You grow thick skin, but sometimes it gets to you. Reality is reality, she’s a brilliant woman, a strong woman,” he said.

2Baba also revealed that he is naturally shy and more reserved than many assume, explaining that his profession often requires him to step outside his comfort zone.

“My profession doesn’t permit me to be shy, but I’m actually a very shy person.

“Sometimes I just want to be alone and chill. Other times I want to hang out. I like nature; I have my moments,” he added.
