Innocent Ujah Idibia MON^[a] (Listen^ⓘ; born 18 September 1975), known by his stage name 2Baba and formerly as 2face Idibia,^[2]^[3] is a Nigerian singer-songwriter, record producer and philanthropist known for his solo debut album, Face 2 Face.^[4]^[b] He is regarded as the "most influential" in the Nigerian music industry following his contributions to Nigerian pop music in the 2000s.^[5]

2Baba won the MTV Europe Music Award for Best African Act in 2005.^[6] In 2019, he collaborated with Cobhams Asuquo and Timi Dakolo to release a song, which raised awareness for Child's right.^[7]

Early life and education[edit]

2Baba was born on September 18, 1975, in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, from Idoma descent from Benue State in central Nigeria.^[8] He studied at Mount Saint Gabriel Secondary School in Makurdi before pursuing Business Administration at the Institute of Management and Technology, Enugu (IMT), located in Enugu State.^[8]

Following his academic pursuits, 2Baba discontinued his formal education in pursue his career in music.^[8] By 1996, he had already begun composing music and recording jingles especially at the GB Fan Club at Enugu State Broadcasting Services (ESBS).^[8] Operating under the stage name "2Face",^[c] he said that the name was "to demarcate his personal life from business life" though was later changed to "2Baba" in 2016.^[9]

Career[edit]

While attending IMT, Idibia began his music career performing alongside Blackface Naija, his secondary school classmate, and Faze, all of whom later formed the trio band, Plantashun Boiz.^[10] The band released two albums, Body and Soul (2000) and Sold Out (2003), under Dove Records, a label owned by Nelson Brown.^[11] The band members separated in 2004, and 2Baba returned to his solo music.

2Baba released his debut solo album, Face 2 Face (2004), which was positively reviewed by music critics and was listed as "the greatest Nigerian debut album of the 21st Century by a solo artist."^[12] It was followed by his second album, Grass 2 Grace (2006). After that, he left Kennis Music and established his own record label, Hypertek Digital.^[13] In 2009, he released an experimental album, The Unstoppable, with an international edition in 2010.^[14] The international edition won two awards at the 2010 SoundCity Music Video Awards.^[15]

Personal life and controversies[edit]

In 2004, 2Baba's departure from the band "Plantashun Boiz" led to the group's split, sparking a feud with his former bandmates who blamed him for the disbandment. 2Baba and former bandmate Faze traded blame in various tracks on their respective solo albums.^[16]

BlackFace alleged that 2Baba's performed songs were written by both of them, although the issue was later resolved in court.^[17] The hit song "African Queen" became a subject of controversy between 2Baba, his record label Kennis Music, and former bandmate Blackface, who publicly accused him of stealing the song from him, alleging that he wrote the song while they were still a band.^[18]^[19] Kennis Music eventually agreed to give Blackface writing credits for the song and also agreed to pay him royalties from the proceeds of the song.^[20]

On January 25, 2017, 2Baba announced through his Instagram handle that he would be leading a nationwide protest on February 5, 2017; the protest was against policies implemented by the Presidency of Muhammadu Buhari.^[21]^[22]^[23] In an attempt to halt the protest, the administration, through the Lagos State police commissioner Fatai Owoseni, released a statement that the protest was banned in the state, citing concerns that hoodlums would hijack it and cause havoc. However, the statement was rebuffed and ignored publicly, while publicity for the protest continued on social media.^[24]^[25]

In February 2017, 2Baba released a video stating that he was canceling the protest due to security reasons. Rumors circulated on social media alleging that the administration, through the DSS, had picked him up earlier that day and pressured him to cancel the much-hyped protest, though he later made a series of tweets from his Twitter account to deny the claim.^[26]^[27]^[28]

2Baba has been married to Nigerian actress Annie Macaulay-Idibia since 2012 in Lagos, Nigeria.^[29]^[30] A civil ceremony was held in Dubai on March 23, 2013, and they have seven children.^[31]

-===Solo career===
-After the disbandment of Plantashun Boyz in 2004, all band members sought separate musical careers. 2Baba released his debut solo album ''[[Face 2 Face (2face Idibia album)|Face 2 Face]]'' (2004), which has been listed by many publications as the greatest Nigerian debut album of the 21st Century by a solo artist.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Alake |first=Motolani |date=17 March 2020 |title=Here are the top 10 Nigerian debut albums of the past 20 years |url=https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/wizkid-asa-timaya-mi-abaga-and-the-top-10-nigerian-debut-albums-over-the-past-20/73sdp1x |access-date=3 June 2022 |website=Pulse Nigeria |language=en}}</ref> The album spurned hits like "Nfana Ibaga", "Ole", and "African Queen" (which served as the soundtrack to the 2006 Hollywood movie [[Phat Girlz]]).
+In February 2017, 2Baba released a video stating that he was canceling the protest due to security reasons. Rumors circulated on social media alleging that the administration, through the DSS, had picked him up earlier that day and pressured him to cancel the much-hyped protest, though he later made a series of tweets from his [[Twitter]] account to deny the claim.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://punchng.com/not-arrested-tuface/ |title=I was not arrested&nbsp;– Tuface |website=Punch Newspapers |date=6 February 2017 |language=en-US |access-date=10 October 2019 |archive-date=10 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191010011833/https://punchng.com/not-arrested-tuface/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://dailypost.ng/2017/02/06/cancelled-protest-not-arrested-dss-2face/ |title=Cancelled protest: I was not arrested by DSS&nbsp;– 2face |last=Nwachukwu |first=John Owen |date=6 February 2017 |website=Daily Post Nigeria |language=en-US |access-date=10 October 2019 |archive-date=10 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191010011832/https://dailypost.ng/2017/02/06/cancelled-protest-not-arrested-dss-2face/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/2face-idibia-i-was-not-arrested-by-the-dss-music-star-says/qqp3x4r |title='I was not arrested by the DSS'&nbsp;– music star says |date=6 February 2017 |website=pulse.ng |language=en-US |access-date=10 October 2019 |archive-date=10 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191010011833/https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/2face-idibia-i-was-not-arrested-by-the-dss-music-star-says/qqp3x4r |url-status=live }}</ref>

-Baba released an experimental album in 2009 called ''[[The Unstoppable]]'' which includes the single "Enter the Place".
