Afrobeat legend and music icon, Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, is turning the page to an exciting new chapter in his career.
On Tuesday, July 8, 2025, the legendary African Queen crooner officially announced a fresh management team that will steer the next phase of his journey in music and beyond.
In a joint statement released via his label, A Guy Entertainment, 2Baba described this move as more than just a transition. He said:
“I’m excited about this new chapter. Change is a necessary part of growth, and I believe this team understands my vision, my legacy, and where we’re headed next. We’re not just celebrating the past, we’re creating more magic.”
After more than two decades at the top of the game, 2Baba is proving once again that legends don’t retire, they evolve.
The new team, made up of seasoned professionals in music business, branding, entertainment law, and digital innovation, has been carefully selected to amplify every aspect of 2Baba’s brand.
From major music releases and brand collaborations to international engagements and creative campaigns, the new management is expected to cover the full spectrum of his career, locally and globally.
The official statement highlights 2Baba’s lasting influence on African pop culture:
“With a career spanning over twenty years, 2BABA has redefined Afro-pop and inspired countless artists. His timeless artistry, advocacy, and global appeal are hallmarks of excellence, and this new team has been brought on board to build on that legacy.”
The announcement didn’t just stir the music scene, it also sparked conversations around legacy, longevity, and how Nigerian artists are increasingly thinking about succession, sustainability, and storytelling. See screenshot of statement below:
But this fresh start comes just weeks after 2Baba stirred social media with comments many deemed controversial. In a viral post, the singer suggested that ”men are wired to cheat,” a statement that triggered heated backlash online.
While some fans applauded his honesty, others slammed the remarks as irresponsible and damaging, especially from a role model of his stature.
Rather than dwell in the storm, 2Baba appears to be channeling the heat into purpose, with his new management team.
