Veteran Nigerian musician Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has admitted that he has fallen short in his responsibilities as a father.

The singer made the disclosure during a recent episode of the Mic On podcast hosted by journalist Seun Okinbaloye, where he reflected on fatherhood, personal growth, and his desire to make a positive impact on society.

2Baba, who has eight children from four different women, acknowledged the importance of being a present father and expressed his determination to improve.

“I want to really contribute to society positively. I want to be among those who make something meaningful happen. I want to contribute my own little quota to help society. I have not been the best daddy. I want to do more. However, privacy is very important,” he said.

Despite the public interest in his family life, the music icon stressed that he prefers to keep personal matters away from the spotlight.

2Baba has two children with his first partner, Sumbo Ajaba-Adeoye; three with his second partner, Pero Adeniyi; two with his former wife, actress Annie Macaulay; and one child with his current wife, Natasha Osawaru.
