Legendary Nigerian artist 2Baba has publicly praised fellow music giant Daddy Showkey, recalling a touching gesture the veteran musician did for him early in his career.
While performing at a recent event, 2Baba took a moment to compliment Daddy Showkey, noting that he was the first person to ever give him $100.
“Daddy Showkey was the first person to give me $100, and that was my first time seeing a dollar note. It was this great man that gave it to me,” he said.
The musician also reflected on his own experience, confessing that he used to go out looking for trouble but has since turned a new page after receiving more than he bargained for.
2Baba's tribute comes at a time of reflection in his career. Last year, the singer celebrated 25 years in the Nigerian music industry, using the opportunity to thank his wife, Natasha, former bandmates Blackface and Faze, manager Efe Omorogbe, colleagues, family, and friends.History
He also announced a new management team last year, citing the move as part of his efforts to modernise and expand his business while protecting his legacy.
Remember that in 2024, 2Baba broke ties with Efe Omorogbe, who had managed him for about 20 years.
The musician has also made countless public appearances to reflect on his life and work. During his 50th birthday celebration in September, he acknowledged that many of those who began the voyage with him were no longer alive.
At a December event, 2Baba apologised to Nigerians and asked them to forgive him and his family.
