Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has tendered a public apology after sparking widespread controversy with his recent statement that men are not biologically wired to be sexually faithful to just one woman. In a candid interview, 2Baba had asserted that while a man’s heart and love may belong to one woman, sexual exclusivity is nearly impossible due to male biology.
The remarks, made during a podcast appearance, ignited intense debate and criticism, with many accusing him of justifying infidelity. The comments also drew attention in light of 2Baba’s highly publicized separation from his wife, Annie Idibia, earlier this year.
In a heartfelt video posted on Instagram, 2Baba expressed deep regret for his words, apologizing to his wife Natasha Osawaru, his children, and his fans. He acknowledged that his statement was a mistake and emphasized that it did not reflect who he truly is. The apology came amid concern from media personalities and fans who found the original comments troubling.
Despite the backlash, 2Baba’s remarks have sparked broader conversations about male sexuality, societal expectations, and relationship dynamics in Nigeria. However, his subsequent apology underscores his desire to make amends and clarify his position on fidelity and respect in relationships.
