Comedian-turned-singer Nasboi has written an emotional open letter to music icon 2Baba, urging him to take control of his public image amid the controversies currently trailing him.
In the letter shared on Instagram on Tuesday, Nasboi said he felt “genuinely heartbroken” watching “embarrassing videos and news” about the singer trend online.
He wrote:
“Dear King 2Face Idibia (2 baba) @official2baba. I feel genuinely heartbroken seeing some of the embarrassing videos and news about you circulating online. It hurts because you have always been my mentor. I’ve looked up to you since I was 16. I loved every bit of your music, your personality, and the humility you carried yourself. In fact, you were one of the people who taught me what it means to be humble.”
Nasboi added that although 2Baba had faced criticism in the past, he was never known for public fights or drama.
“You have had your criticism in the past, but your character and humility still stood tall. I never knew you as someone who fought publicly, argued online, or created drama. The 2Face I grew up loving was calm, humble, and carried himself with grace.”
Expressing concern over recent events, he said the person being portrayed online does not match the 2Baba he has admired since boyhood.
“I know every family has its issues, but one thing I know about 2baba is how he never speaks on things like this. No matter what happened behind closed doors, you never brought it outside … the version of events being brought online now is damaging and unfamiliar to those of us who truly love and respect you.”
He pleaded with the singer to take charge of the situation.
“Your current situation is presenting a side of you that many of us have never seen, and it is painful to watch. Please, sir… for the sake of people like me who have loved you from a young age… Please take control of this situation.”
Nasboi ended by reaffirming his admiration.
“We still believe in you. We still admire you. We still want to see the 2Baba we grew up respecting. This message is from a boy who has loved you since he was 16. I chose this particular song because suddenly, the lyrics hit differently. With respect, love, and deep concern, a loyal fan.”
The letter follows a series of viral incidents involving 2Baba and his wife, Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru, including an argument during a live session with Daddy Freeze which reignited public scrutiny.
