Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, globally recognized as 2Baba, has stunned fans with a personal announcement.

The legendary performer, known for his complex family history, shared this revelation during EdoPikin’s Undiluted with StarBoy and Legends event in Benin City.

Before his electrifying performance, the artist addressed the audience with an unexpected declaration about his personal life.

“Listen up, I’ve got something important to say. I’m making this statement everywhere I go to clear the air. That chapter is closed—no more random pregnancies. Seriously, ask around—people will confirm I’m keeping it clean these days.”

The Grammy-nominated star first became a father with Sumbo Adeoye, raising two sons—Zion and Nino—before their 2009 separation.

His second long-term relationship with Pero Adeniyi produced three children between 2006 and 2012.

From his high-profile marriage to actress Annie Macaulay-Idibia came two daughters before their 2025 divorce.

Most recently, the afrobeat pioneer welcomed another child with current partner Natasha Osawaru, sparking fresh debates about his personal choices.
