*‘I Have Not Been The Best Dad Lately’
NIGERIAN musician, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has taken responsibility for the controversial incident in London involving a disagreement with his wife, Natasha Osawaru, in October last year, acknowledging that his actions were driven by anger.
The father of six admitted that there were several circumstances he wished he had handled differently, noting that pressure and intense emotions had influenced some of his past choices.
Appearing on the Mic On podcast, he spoke about lessons learned from emotionally charged moments and stressful situations, adding: “I was angry that day. It was an unfortunate incident.
“I let my emotions get the best of me. I want young boys and girls to learn from this. When you reacts in anger, you end up regretting what you do.”
He said balancing personal struggles with life in the public eye has often been challenging, adding that some experiences have forced him to rethink how he manages conflict and stress, adding that emotional strain can cloud judgment and he now understands the importance of responding more carefully in tense situations.
According to him: “There are so many things I wish I could rewind and do better. As a human being, there are times when you are overwhelmed or don’t make the best decisions. My thick-skin is weaker now.”
2Baba disclosed that the experiences have made him more reflective, teaching him key lessons about accountability, emotional control and personal growth.
The father of eight children from four different women, admitted lagging behind in his fatherly duties, saying he wants to do better as a father, even as he stressed the importance of a present father figure in children’s upbringing.
He, however, wished to keep his personal life private, adding: “I want to really contribute to society positively. I want to be among those who make something meaningful happen. I want to contribute my own little quota to help society.
“I have not been the best daddy. I want to do more.
“However, privacy is very important.”
