Legendary Nigerian singer 2Baba has addressed long-standing rumors about his personal life, insisting he is not the womanizer many believe him to be. In a candid interview with the Voice of Nigeria, the music icon described himself as honest and open-hearted when it comes to relationships, calling himself a “lover boy” rather than a player. “The biggest misconception about me is that I’m a womanizer. I like women; I’m just straightforward. But I’m a lover boy. I love hard,” 2Baba said. He also reflected on the challenges of fatherhood, admitting that balancing a demanding music career with raising eight children has been one of his greatest personal struggles. “I have eight kids now. I feel blessed and happy, but sometimes it saddens me that I haven’t spent as much time with them collectively as I would like. It affects me,” he confessed. Despite the occasional regrets, 2Baba said his children remain a source of constant joy and pride. “They’re amazing, brilliant people. I just wish I could be there more. It really touches me,” he added. The singer also addressed speculation surrounding his wife, Natasha, including claims that she has too much influence over him. 2Baba dismissed such suggestions as far from the truth. “People say all sorts of things about everyone’s business now. Sometimes it’s harsh. You develop thick skin, but it can still get to you. In reality, she’s a brilliant and strong woman,” he said. Offstage, 2Baba revealed a more reserved side of himself, admitting he is naturally shy despite performing on some of the world’s biggest stages. “My profession doesn’t allow me to be shy, but in truth, I am. Sometimes I just want to be alone and relax. Other times, I enjoy hanging out. I love nature and value my quiet moments,” he said, offering fans a rare glimpse of his private, reflective personality.
