Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, better known as 2Face or 2Baba, clocked 50 this week, and the celebrations have been nothing short of heartwarming.
Among the many tributes pouring in, fellow veteran singer 9ice shared one of the most emotional messages that has since gone viral.
In a touching video, the Gongo Aso crooner praised 2Face not only for his remarkable career but also for his resilience in an industry where success often attracts envy. According to 9ice, while many secretly wish for 2Face’s downfall, his greatness is too deeply rooted to be shaken.
“2Face, happy birthday to you. I wish you long life and prosperity. I know so many wish you fall, but you shall never fall. You shall prosper. I love you,” 9ice declared with heartfelt sincerity.
He went on to encourage the African Queen hitmaker, reminding him that challenges are only phases in life and that his legacy will always stand tall.
“You are not going to fall. It’s just a phase of life. You will always overcome it. God bless you,” he added.
2Face, who has spent over two decades shaping African music, remains one of Nigeria’s proudest exports. With timeless hits, countless awards, and a global fanbase, his 50th birthday has turned into a celebration of not just age but also of endurance, influence, and the love of millions.
