Family members and friends of popular singer, Innocent Idibia, aka 2Baba (formerly 2Face), have made several attempts to meet with him in recent times over his recent actions, but all have been unsuccessful, Saturday Beats can authoritatively report.

A source close to the family told one of our correspondents that 2Baba?s siblings are seriously worried about their brother?s state of mind because of some of the actions he has taken in recent times.

Earlier in the week, while appearing on a podcast co-anchored by a controversial media personality, Nedu, 2Baba had espoused the view that men are not built to be monogamous.

He said, ?Men are not built to be with one woman sexually. A man can love one woman and still desire others.?

Nedu, who has been accused of manipulating his guests before and during interviews, then asked the singer if he would cheat on his current ?wife? and member of the Edo State House of Assembly, Natasha Osawaru; to which he stammered before another co-anchor and comedian, MC Acapella, steered the interview on.

Shortly after the video went viral online, 2Baba returned to social media to profusely apologise for his statement.

He said, ?I messed up. I know I?m going to pay a heavy price. I disappointed a lot of people, my fans, my family, especially my wife, Natasha.?

He then described his words as a ?poor attempt to explain male psychology,? but acknowledged the harm done.

?There?s no excuse. I take full responsibility.?

However, friends and siblings, say that the apology in itself lends credence to their claims that the singer is not in the right frame of mind.

A source close to the family told Saturday Beats, ?This matter is becoming more worrisome for us by the day. Do you know that people had to come from different places, including the United States of America, to have a meeting with 2Baba but he never showed up, even after promising that he would.

?This is not the Innocent that we know. He seems like someone being teleguided to do certain things that he normally wouldn?t.

?We are not happy that he has practically abandoned his family, businesses and every other thing in Lagos and relocated to Edo State. He is also not reachable, and that is unlike him.?

This was even as some of the singer?s friends who also spoke to Saturday Beats alleged that his phone had been hacked, with messages and other information were being deleted before the singer could access them.

A media personality, Oladotun Kayode, (Do2dtun) also called the apology video ?unnatural?.

?Please, I don?t like this 2Face I?m seeing. Something is not right at all. Why always make him retract or apologise like a child? Someone is milking his vulnerability.

?Even in his worst scandals, he never addressed anything like this. This isn?t him. Something is wrong,? he wrote on X.

In an ?open letter? posted on social media, 2Baba?s brother, Charles, described 2Baba as a kind-hearted soul being mentally caged by a controlling partner.

He wrote, ?You have been captured; from frying pan to industrial furnace.

?She has cloned your WhatsApp, posted pictures on your socials while you sleep, isolated you from your businesses, and calls herself your wife while you are still legally married.

?This isn?t the legend we know. Wake up, brother.?

Reacting to the apology video, media personality, Daddy Freeze, stated that 2Baba was ?depreciating?. He said, ?2Baba, what is this? What do you want to turn 2mama for us? Do2dtun was right, we don?t like this 2Face that we are seeing. E be like say Geppetto don dey control Pinochhio o!

?Some people will say why didn?t I reach 2Face privately, we?ve tried to convene a meeting with him three times and he refused to show up. So, I cannot watch somebody I know and love continue to depreciate like this and keep quiet. Alright, you said something that didn?t make sense, apologise you have legend status, a one-line apology. Which one is, ?I f**k up, I f**k up?? You are not a child, 2Baba?.

A filmmaker and owner of Nevada Bridge Productions, Neville Sajere, also called on other close friends to ?do something? about the singer?s recent actions. He wrote on Instagram, ?This is not the legend I know. This is not the man that we created so many memories together! And, this has nothing to do with the podcast! In my opinion, he had a very good interview with Nedu and Acapella! But the aftermath of the interview is the real problem here! These past events have been overwhelming! If Innocent has ever meant anything to you, it?s time to do something! A guy, please for the sake of your seven adorable kids, take a step back and reflect.? (PUNCH)
