2Baba Reveals Deep Regret Over Having Eight Children: “It’s Been Overwhelming
Nigerian music legend Tuface Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has revealed that balancing his music career with fatherhood has been one of his most challenging personal struggles.
The award-winning singer shared this in an interview with Voice of Nigeria, discussing the responsibilities of being a father and the pressures of fame.
2Baba said he feels grateful and happy to have eight children but admitted that not being able to spend enough time with them saddens him.
He explained, “I have eight kids now. I feel blessed and happy, but the sadness comes from the fact that I haven’t spent the kind of time with them that I should. It affects me sometimes. They’re amazing, brilliant people. I just wish I could be there more. It touches me from all corners.”
The iconic singer also addressed misconceptions about his private life, insisting that he is not a womanizer but rather a devoted “lover boy.”
“The biggest misconception about me is that I’m a womanizer. I like women; I’m just straightforward. But I’m a lover boy. I love hard,” he said.
He also responded to public speculation about his wife, Natasha, particularly claims that she is overly controlling or heavily influences his decisions.
“Everyone has an opinion about everyone’s business these days. People sometimes say very nasty things. You grow thick skin, but it can still get to you. The reality is, she’s a brilliant woman, a strong woman,” he explained.
Despite his global fame, 2Baba revealed that he is naturally a shy person.
“My profession doesn’t allow me to be shy, but I am. Sometimes I just want to be alone and relax. Other times I enjoy hanging out. I like nature; I have my moments,” he said.
