2baba Tells Critics – “I am happy to be a coward that spoke up and I will always continue to speak up”

Since the #IStandWithNigeria protest, 2baba Idibia has been rather silent. However, the singer has now spoken up for the first time since then via video which he shared. He also thanked his fans for their support including Nigerians who stepped out to make their voices heard during the anti-government protest. 2baba also seized the opportunity to reply those who have been calling him a coward for backing down. He said:

“I watched with tears in my eyes as Nigerians came out yesterday to speak up in protest on the streets, on social media, on the radio. I watched as Nigerians demonstrated that no one voice is louder than the other, whether you be 2baba or security forces. I watched as many people called me a coward but I am happy to be a coward that spoke up and I will always continue to speak up.”

“I am grateful [to] everybody that lent their voice when I lost mine. You guys are the real heroes,” he continued. “I am happy you came out. I am happy you came out peacefully.”

Also, Nigerian comedian Gordons has apologized for calling Tuface an ‘illiterate’ in an interview with GoldMyne TV.

Gordons apologises to @official2baba for calling him an illiterate who can only express himself through music.
