2Baba sparks controversy with risqué performance amid marital woes
Legendary Nigerian musician, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has stirred controversy online following a bold performance of his new single Toto Mechanic amid his ongoing marital issues.
The Afrobeats icon, who recently made headlines over his separation from wife Annie Macaulay, debuted the provocative track during a live appearance at comedian Acapella’s comedy show.
In a video now circulating on social media, 2Baba is seen on stage performing the new single, referring to himself as a “toto mechanic,” suggesting he specializes in “fixing” women’s private parts. His lyrics and delivery left the audience divided—some amused, others visibly uncomfortable. A particular moment captured a female guest reacting with shock at the song's explicit content.
The timing of the release, combined with 2Baba’s engagement to Natasha Osawaru—who was reportedly dismissed from the Edo State House of Assembly—has only intensified public reaction.
Despite the backlash, 2Baba thanked the crowd warmly after his performance, remaining unfazed by the mixed reception. The incident has reignited conversations online about celebrity behavior, artistic freedom, and public responsibility, especially in the wake of personal scandals.
