Wizkid vs 2Baba: Did Wizkid Really Slam 2Face Over Family Issues? The Truth Revealed

Did Wizkid Fire Shots at 2Baba Over Family Issues? Here’s the Truth

Social media has been buzzing with claims that Nigerian superstar Wizkid came hard at music legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba (formerly 2Face), allegedly advising him to “fix his family challenges first” before making musical judgments.

The statement has sparked heated debates across Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, and blogs, with many fans wondering if Wizkid truly disrespected one of Nigeria’s most respected music pioneers. So, is this claim true? Let’s break it down carefully.

Where Did the Controversy Start?

The controversy began after 2Baba, in a recent interview and public conversation, shared his opinion about the current state of Nigerian music, particularly when comparing global success among top artistes such as Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido.

2Baba reportedly suggested that Burna Boy is currently ahead globally, a comment that immediately triggered mixed reactions from fans of other artistes. As expected, fan bases took to social media to defend their favourites.

Did Wizkid Really Respond?

Shortly after 2Baba’s comment went viral, screenshots allegedly showing a reaction from Wizkid started circulating online. In the viral posts, Wizkid was quoted as saying that 2Baba should “make peace with his family first before having opinions about music.”

These posts were widely shared by gossip blogs and fan pages, giving the impression that Wizkid directly attacked 2Baba over his well-known family and marital controversies.

The Important Truth Fans Should Know

As of now, there is NO verified interview, official tweet, Instagram post, or confirmed statement from Wizkid directly addressing 2Baba in that manner.

The alleged reaction appears to have originated from:

• Unverified screenshots
• Fan-made captions
• Gossip blogs and social media commentary

Neither Wizkid nor 2Baba has officially confirmed the exchange. Major credible news platforms have also not published any direct confirmation that Wizkid made such a statement.

Was 2Baba Born in Benue State?

Another detail being circulated alongside the claim is that 2Baba is “Benue State born.” While 2Baba is from Benue State by origin, he was actually born in Jos, Plateau State. This misinformation further shows how quickly facts can be distorted online.

Fans React as Social Media Takes Sides

Despite the lack of confirmation, fans of both artistes have continued to clash online. Some defended Wizkid, arguing that elders should expect criticism when they speak publicly. Others insisted that 2Baba deserves respect as a pioneer who paved the way for today’s stars.

As usual in Nigerian pop culture, fan wars amplified the situation far beyond what the original comment intended.

Final Verdict: Is the Claim True?

No — the claim is not fully confirmed. While social media users are widely sharing the alleged response, there is no solid evidence that Wizkid officially told 2Baba to fix his family challenges before judging music.

Until either Wizkid or 2Baba addresses the issue directly, the story should be treated as unverified social media speculation, not established fact.

Conclusion

This situation highlights the need for fans and blogs to verify information before drawing conclusions. In an era where screenshots can be fabricated and quotes taken out of context, separating facts from rumors is more important than ever.

For now, both Wizkid and 2Baba remain icons in Nigerian music — and fans should allow respect and facts to guide the conversation.
