Nigerian music icon, Innocent Idibia, widely recognized as 2Baba, continues to pay homage to his late friend and collaborator, Sound Sultan, even after the passage of two years.
On Sunday, January 14, 2023, 2Baba took to Instagram to share a poignant tribute, reflecting on significant moments from Sound Sultan’s career that profoundly impacted his own life.
In the heartfelt post, 2Baba disclosed that despite the realization of their shared dream for the success and recognition of African and Nigerian music, he remains steadfast and unwilling to succumb to the influence of the “new cats” in the industry.
