Nigerian on-air personality and media influencer, Do2dtun, has questioned the timing and authenticity of legendary singer 2Baba’s recent apology regarding his now-viral comment that “men are not sexually built for one woman.” His critique has opened up a new chapter in a conversation already charged with emotion, cultural debate, and celebrity accountability.
2Baba, born Innocent Ujah Idibia, shocked fans last week when he made a controversial remark during a sit-down with Nedu Wazobia. The Afrobeats legend suggested that monogamy does not align with male biology—a claim that triggered fierce criticism across social media, especially given his history of high-profile relationship challenges with his wife, Annie Idibia.
In a damage-control effort, 2Baba took to Instagram on July 2 to tender a heartfelt apology to his wife, children, and fans, admitting he had “messed up the way he said it” and acknowledging that his words were “unlegendary.” While some applauded the apology as a sign of growth and humility, others, including Do2dtun, weren’t convinced.
Reacting on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram Stories shortly after the apology video went viral, Do2dtun questioned both the timing and tone of 2Baba’s message. According to the Cool FM host, something about the video felt off:
“This isn’t the 2Baba we know. I don’t know what’s going on, but this sudden apology clip… something feels heavy behind it. It doesn’t seem like it’s just about that one comment.”
He added that while celebrities are expected to respond to backlash, the emotional weight in 2Baba’s voice suggested a deeper issue, possibly beyond the controversial monogamy statement. Fans and followers quickly picked up on the implication, with many speculating on whether there’s more going on in 2Baba’s personal life that prompted the apology.
Do2dtun’s comment opened the floodgates to fresh conversations online. The debate quickly shifted from the monogamy comment itself to whether 2Baba’s apology was a genuine expression of remorse or a public relations move prompted by backlash or internal pressure.
A user on Instagram commented:
“Do2dtun is saying what we’re all thinking. The apology sounded like something forced, not from the heart.”
Another replied:
“Whether forced or not, at least he apologized. That counts for something in this industry.”
According to relationship therapist Dr. Tolu Alaba, public apologies from celebrities are often double-edged swords.
“They are meant to appease fans and protect brand image. But people can sense when the emotion doesn’t match the words. That’s where doubt creeps in,” she said.
Alaba added that Do2dtun’s observation may be valid if there are unspoken issues behind the scenes, especially in a relationship as publicly scrutinized as 2Baba’s.
2Baba, now 49, has navigated a long career in the limelight marked by both legendary musical contributions and personal controversies. His marriage to Annie Idibia has been a frequent subject of public debate, particularly regarding fidelity and emotional vulnerability.
His recent apology referenced Annie directly, saying:
“I’m sorry to my wife Natasha. Calling me a legend is an honor, but this my talk is quite unlegendly.”
While the apology aimed to show maturity and growth, public reactions remain split.
Do2dtun’s reaction has added a fresh layer to the ongoing saga, one that reflects growing public demand for genuine emotional accountability from public figures. As fans continue to dissect the saga, one thing is clear: in the age of social media, how and when celebrities speak matters just as much as what they say.
