    2Baba Addresses Controversy Over 2004 Hit African Queen Amid Blackface’s Claim

    Published on

    Nigerian music star Innocent Idibia, better known as 2Baba, has addressed the long-standing controversy surrounding the authorship of his 2004 hit song African Queen.

    Speaking with Nedu on a South African podcast, 2Baba clarified that his hit song African Queen, which not only put him in the light but also placed Nigerian music on the international scene, was a collaborative effort between him and former Platanshunz bandmate, Blackface.

    “It’s a collab. I wrote most of the song actually, but we wrote it together,” he said. 2Baba expressed disappointment over accusations from Blackface, who has repeatedly claimed sole ownership of the song. “For me, the law and the legal things speak for themselves. So I’m not somebody to come and start… I don’t know what his intentions are. I don’t know what I’ve ever done to him,” 2Baba said.
