Legendary singer, Innocent Idibia, 2Baba has described himself as an ‘upcoming artist’ when compared with the new artists in the Nigerian music space.
Credited with hits like African Queen, he is regarded as one of those who contributed in the early stages to making Afrobeat what is today.
However, in recent times, with fewer records, 2Baba has gotten lesser attention compared to raves of the moment like Asake, Rema, Omah Lay and a host of others. And for him, this has played a part in him becoming an ‘upcoming artist’. He said with the pace the youngsters are moving, he is transitioning into an upcomingartist.
The popular musician wrote: “Meeen!, These new cats are not smiling o. I don turn to upcoming artist o, chai. But as them talk am, we no go gree for anybody this year. na kitchen I dey like this.”
He also wrote, “Yes ooo 
Merry New and Happy Every My People
na so we no dey gree for anybody this year o.

This young boys and girls are not smiling 
Who no work no go chop.
