Singer and songwriter, Vicky Jay, has sent an emotional message to Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, urging him to stay strong and rise above negativity, fake friends, and online drama.
The message, which is now circulating on YouTube and social media platforms, mixes spoken-word music with lyrics dedicated to the veteran singer.
In the piece, Vicky Jay praises 2Baba’s decades-long impact on Nigerian music.
He said; “For decades you’ve been giving us reason to be happy, yes ooo. Your voice, your music, always a soul revival right from Plantashun days to Kennis Music.”
He describes 2Baba as his brother, mentor, legend, and motivator before calling on him not to lose himself in the noise surrounding his personal life.
According to him, “2Baba, what’s really going on? Don’t let anybody change your identity. You’re stronger than the shadows whispering negativity.”
The artist also advises him to remove people who may be worsening his challenges.
“Cut off the fake friends, the ones wey pretend,” the lyrics read in part.
The musician added that some people only create drama just to trend.
He warns that not everyone deserves loyalty at the expense of one’s peace.
“If to say na just me, nobody go challenge me, but I remember you said if love is a crime, I am willing to go to jail. But my brother, no be everybody you fit go jail for.”
Vicky Jay also cautions that not all smiles are genuine; “No be everybody wey smile be true queen. Real queens uplift their kings, guide the home, respect the crown and bring peace within.”
Expressing concern over the online conversations around 2Baba, he says it hurts to see “hungry bloggers feed on your story and frustrated strangers dance around your storms.”
While some people call it karma or joke about the God of Annie, Baba, make you turn because it’s never too late to turn if the road gets rough. Some roads no be your road, some battles no be your battles.”
He reminds him that he deserves peace and strength.
A true king needs a loyal, peaceful queen, not somebody wey go dim your light or break your royal spirit.”
I just wanna let you know say you are my king. No matter what they say about you, your fans dey your back and I am one of them. This phase shall pass. You’re not the first and you no go be the last. Stay strong, look after yourself and your children,” he advised.
Recall that 2baba had pleaded with his fans to stop interfering in his marital issues, saying the public attention is putting his wife, Natasha Osawaru, at risk.
He made the appeal via an Instagram Story titled “A plea,” which carried the stark message “help me.”
2Baba urged his followers and the general public not to escalate the matter, emphasizing that the ongoing drama was endangering Natasha.
“This is getting out of hand, and it’s becoming a dangerous situation. I know what fans can do; I know what people can do. I’m perfectly okay. This is putting Natasha at risk, it’s not fair to anybody.”
Recall that the singer proposed to Natasha Osawaru in February and married her in July.
