Amid all of his relationship controversies in recent months, 2face Idibia’s management has come out to say that his legacy remains intact. His management recently revealed that 2baba’s legacy cannot be diminished by temporary distractions.
Speaking during an interview with Saturday Beats, the Head of Legal and Communication at A Guy Entertainment, Chioma Ebubedike-Igbokwe, said that 2face is still seen as the greatest of all time in African music.
According to her, Billboard’s recognition of “African Queen” as the number one Afrobeats song of all time is further proof that 2baba’s impact remains undisputed.
Describing Innocent Idibia’s songs as timeless, she emphasised that his catalogue and cultural impact speak louder than all of his controversies.
“The truth is, controversy sells faster than music in today’s digital climate. But 2Baba’s legacy is untouchable. He is widely regarded as the greatest of all time in African music, and Billboard’s recognition of ‘African Queen’ as the number one afrobeats song of all time only underlines that fact. His catalogue and cultural impact speak louder than temporary noise. Every single song is timeless; this fact remains untouchable,” she said.
Chioma further noted that Afrobeats’ current global dominance rests on the foundation built by pioneers like 2Baba.
She concluded by saying that the legendary singer would be remembered for making conscious and meaningful music like Fela and Christy Essien-Igbokwe.
“Rather than compete with younger acts, our strategy is to showcase his unmatched depth, storytelling, and stagecraft. There’s a place for both the new wave and the legends, and we’re actively creating platforms where 2Baba’s voice remains indispensable. He creates conscious and meaningful music, and very few of the new generation can match his style. His status as the undisputed king of afrobeats remains unmatched. Just like legends such as Fela and Christy Essien-Igbokwe, his music is timeless. The younger ones should continually look up to him for inspiration,” she said.
