Skitmaker and singer Nasboi (Lawal Michael Bolaji Nasiru) has penned a long open letter to music legend 2Baba (Innocent Ujah Idibia). He says he feels heartbroken by new videos and news about the star.
In the note, posted on social media, Nasboi calls 2Baba “King” and says he has loved him since he was 16. He explains that the clips of quarrels and police drama online do not match the man he grew up admiring, especially after the recent airport fight with Natasha.
Nasboi says new clips feel strange
Nasboi writes that he fell in love with 2Baba’s songs, calm voice, and gentle way of life. He adds that the singer’s simple dress and soft talk taught him real humility.
He notes that 2Baba once faced many complaints yet still stood firm and quiet. Nasboi says he never knew him as someone who fought in public or argued online.
The comedian explains that every home has its issues. He says one thing he always noticed was how 2Baba kept family matters off the internet.
He recalls that the star never rushed to respond when people dropped sharp words about his home. Instead, fans often saw him move on with shows, tours, and soft jokes.
Letter begs singer to “take control”
In the new open letter, Nasboi says the recent case feels different. He believes the fresh round of posts and live chats now paints a side of 2Baba many fans have never seen.
He warns that this version, filled with loud clips and harsh notes, is already hurting the singer’s long built name. He calls it “damaging and unfamiliar” to those who still respect him.
Nasboi then pleads with 2Baba to think of young fans who learnt calm from his story. He asks him to “take control of this case” before more posts twist things further.
The writer stresses that nobody expects the star to be perfect. He only asks that 2Baba guards the peace and grace that once drew many people to his music.
Nasboi also reminds him that fans still believe in him. He repeats that many still want to see the same 2Baba they grew up respecting.
Context of wider marriage drama
The letter lands in the middle of a long running storm around 2Baba’s new marriage. In recent weeks, social feeds have carried claims, regret notes, and old clips as people debate his move from Annie Idibia to lawmaker Natasha Osawaru.
A fresh viral regret quote post claimed he told media host Daddy Freeze that he now misses Annie and feels drained in his new home, though no clear video backs the long text. Many fans now treat those words as “alleged” while they wait for proof.
At the same time, more clips from Daddy Freeze’s live shows have shown sharp exchanges, raised voices, and tense calls from friends who say both partners need help and calm. Other stars, like activist Maryam Laushi, have also shared strong views on the singer’s choices.
Just days earlier, 2Baba tried to steer talk back to music joy by calling himself a “feminist” while he praised female colleagues in a group photo. That post on female colleagues in music still drew mixed views because of the ongoing drama at home.
Nasboi’s own voice has grown louder in the entertainment space this year. He has spoken on stars and music, including a sharp take where he said Wizkid now acts more like an influencer than a singer in a recent music sense comment on Wizkid.
Yet, in this new open letter, he sounds more like a worried younger brother than a critic. He closes by telling 2Baba he still loves him deeply and picked one of his songs because “the lyrics hit different” now.
Nasboi signs off as “a loyal fan” and urges his hero to remember the quiet, humble man many Nigerians first fell in love with. He hints that a calmer path could still restore that picture in the hearts of long time listeners.
