Nigerian music legend 2Baba has addressed how he deals with harsh comments and criticism from social media users, especially in light of his recent split from wife, Annie Idibia.
Speaking during an interview on Binging With Game Changers, the singer revealed that while public commentary can be painful, he has learned to rise above it and remain focused.
“For me, I just knew that I had to stand up to my responsibility. Sometimes, things happen, and people talk all kinds of jokes and malicious comments. It hurts. It gets to you sometimes,” he said.
In the wake of the split, 2Baba’s new partner, Natasha, has also faced backlash, particularly after reportedly spending time with Annie Macaulay’s daughters—an issue that has further stirred public conversation online.

Still, 2Baba remains calm and focused on his personal growth and inner peace.
“But know that this is the way of the world, you just have to be able to try and grow some thick skin and say ‘You know what, I am still going to keep my head high because I know that where I am going is bigger and better than all this stuff’.
“And I know that does not define me. It does not make me a monster. Within you, you have to cheer yourself up. Sometimes you watch a comedy show. Sometimes, you laugh at joke made about you. Always try to turn every situation into positive.
“For me, I know that the moment I start worrying too much, it becomes more problem. I know that there is a solution to everything that comes up,” he added.
The singer’s words have sparked conversations online, with many praising his maturity and resilience in the face of public scrutiny.
