Legendary Nigerian singer, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has admitted to failing in his fatherly roles.

Naija News reports that 2Baba, who has eight children from four different women, made this known in a recent episode of the Mic On podcast hosted by Nigerian journalist, Seun Okinbaloye.

The ‘African Queen’ crooner emphasised the importance of a present father figure in children’s upbringing, stressing that he wants to do better as a father.

2Baba, however, noted that he wishes to keep his personal life private.

He said, “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.” 

2Face has two children with his first baby mama, Sumbo Ajaba-Adeoye, three with his second baby mama Pero Adeniyi, two with his ex-wife Annie Macaulay, and one with his current wife, Natasha Osawaru.

Meanwhile, 2Baba has opened up about the mistakes he made in both his career and personal life.

The singer shared regrets about choices he wishes he could change and moments he could have handled differently.

2Baba also addressed a past incident in London involving an argument with his wife, Natasha Osawaru, which led to his arrest in October 2025.

He admitted responsibility for his actions and described the situation as a moment of anger that got out of hand.
