In a recent performance, Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, opened up about a harrowing personal experience that stunned his fans. The singer, best known for his hit song “African Queen,” shared shocking details of being kidnapped, though he refrained from naming the individuals responsible for the abduction.
The revelation came during a live performance, where 2Baba spoke candidly to the audience about the traumatic event. While he did not provide specifics about the circumstances surrounding the kidnapping, he acknowledged the gravity of the experience. “It’s been a tough time for me, but I’m here, and I’ve learned a lot through it all,” the singer said in a brief video message that circulated widely on social media.
Despite the intense nature of the revelation, 2Baba’s message was mixed with his trademark optimism, urging his supporters to stay strong and resilient. “Life will always throw challenges your way, but you have to keep moving forward,” he added, reflecting on the emotional toll the incident had taken on him. His words seemed to resonate deeply with the crowd, as they offered their support during his performance.
In a surprising twist, 2Baba also revealed his plans to raise funds through the concert to cover the costs related to his kidnapping. “The funds we’re raising tonight are for a very important cause,” he explained. “Part of it will help settle the people who have been holding me hostage.” His words raised eyebrows, leaving many to wonder about the details of the ransom demand or any possible arrangements made with his captors.
Though the artist did not elaborate on whether any official police investigation was ongoing, his statement implied that his experience was deeply personal, yet tied to his professional commitments. “You know how these things go, sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands,” 2Baba said, further fueling speculation about the complexities of the situation.
