Legendary Nigerian singer, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face or 2Baba, has rendered an apology to his fans, wife, friends, and family over a comment he made supporting the act of infidelity by men in relationships.

2Face opened up in an interview on Mzansi podcast with media personality Nedu, stating that, “...Man is not built to sexually be with one woman. Your heart, love, respect can be given to one woman but sexually it is impossible for a man.

“A man can love a woman completely but when it comes to that sexual satisfaction, can’t be with only one woman. It’s the biology of a man.”

His remarks generated a myriad of criticisms from gender rights advocates and public figures who described 2Face's statement as misogynistic, inconsiderate, and reckless.

This led the musician to social media to render an apology through a video he shared on his Instagram page.

“I said what I said because I wanted people to get my understanding. However, there’s no excuse for those comments. I take full responsibility for my words, and I am sorry for disappointing the millions of people who look up to me,” he stated.

2Face admits that his remarks were made carelessly and he is ready to bear the consequences of his actions.

“I know I messed up with what I said, and I know I’m going to get cancelled because of it. I know I’m going to pay a heavy price,” he wrote.

The renowned singer once expressed his disappointment with the excessive attention Nigerians show to his family.

Despite enduring criticism over time, 2Baba lamented that he occasionally remains emotionally affected by the comments made by others.

He pointed out that even though Nigerians insinuate that he's not diligent, they have never volunteered to cover his children's expenses.

The father of seven openly discussed these matters during an interview with British-Nigerian media figure Adesope Olajide on the Afrobeats podcast.

He said: “Many people talk about kids, fatherhood, motherhood, all that whole circle. Many people talk about it with a public opinion type of thinking. But it’s deeper than that. There’s nobody who has the exact blueprint for this thing.

“The basic truth of the whole matter is the connection with you and your little ones [children]. There are so many different ways to find it. There’s no one rule or one particular way.
