Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has announced the suspension of his 50th birthday celebration, stating that he intends to merge it with the commemoration of his 25 years in the music industry.
In a statement shared on Instagram on Thursday, September 18, 2025, 2Baba expressed gratitude to God for the gift of life and the opportunity to mark two major milestones — his golden jubilee and a quarter-century of an illustrious music career.
“This journey has been nothing short of amazing, and I do not take it for granted. Many who started this path with me are no longer here, and I honor their memories as I celebrate this moment,” he said.
The award-winning musician extended appreciation to “my dear mother, my beautiful children, my wife, mothers of my children, my siblings, and my entire family”, describing them as “my backbone”.
2Baba also thanked his colleagues, industry stakeholders, media, promoters, DJs, and fans, among others, acknowledging their role in sustaining his career over the years.
2Baba stated that while his 50th birthday holds deep personal significance, he decided to postpone the celebration in order to create a combined, unforgettable event that will honour both milestones.

The singer added: “This milestone is not mine alone; it belongs to all of us who have walked this journey together. My African queens and kings, you have carried me, inspired me, and kept me going through the highs and lows.
“While I have so much more to say, I will reserve my deepest words and celebrations for the day we gather.”
The ‘African Queen’ crooner assured fans that the planned celebration will be worth the wait, promising an experience that reflects his life, music, and enduring bond with his supporters.
2Baba said: “This year’s celebration has been postponed, not canceled, because I want to do it differently, to merge my 50th birthday and my 25 years in the industry into one unforgettable experience. It will be a time to share stories, give thanks, and celebrate the power of music, life, and love.
“Until then, keep the fire burning. The best is yet to come.”
