Legendary Nigerian musician, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has issued a heartfelt apology to his wife, Natasha, and to his fans following the resurgence of a controversial statement he made about monogamy.
The singer had previously declared that “Men aren’t wired for one woman” — a comment that drew sharp criticism online.
The remark was originally made during an episode of Nedu Wazobia’s new podcast, +234 Mzanzi. In the clip, 2Baba’s comment stirred debate about his views on fidelity, masculinity, and relationships, with many social media users accusing him of reinforcing harmful stereotypes.
In a short Instagram video shared on Monday, 2Baba appeared remorseful and admitted that the tone and timing of his statement may have been insensitive. “I know I fucked up, I’m sorry,” he said plainly, directing the apology to his wife Natasha, kids, fans, and anyone who felt hurt or disappointed.
The music star clarified that while he was trying to express a personal thought about male desire and human imperfection, it wasn’t his intention to promote infidelity or disrespect women.
