Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, also known as 2Baba, has expressed confidence in his financial stability even if he were to stop making music.
2Baba highlighted the need for financial planning, noting that many artists face financial struggles after their fame fades due to a lack of financial foresight.
He attributed his ability to live comfortably without relying solely on music revenue to his business ventures and endorsement deals. “I’ve been smart about my finances,” he said, advising younger artists to adopt a long-term perspective.
The African Queen singer reflected on the Nigerian music industry’s evolution, commending new artists for globalizing Afrobeats, while cautioning them against repeating past entertainers’ financial mistakes, sparking discussions on artist sustainability and legacy.
