“I Speak To My Kids As If We Are Mates, I Don’t Boss Them Around” – 2face Idibia

Legendary Nigerian singer, 2face Idibia has revealed that he converses with his children as equals and he doesn’t impose authority on them.

2face Idibia, who disclosed this during a recent conversation on the Afrobeats podcast hosted by British-Nigerian media personality, Adesope Olajide, discussed how he sometimes feels affected by derogatory remarks made about him on various social media platforms.

The singer highlighted the irony that those very individuals who freely criticize him online regarding his family matters have never demonstrated any willingness to contribute to his children’s educational expenses.

He said, “Many people talk about kids, fatherhood, motherhood, all that whole circle. Many people talk about it with public opinion type of thinking. But it’s deeper than that. There’s nobody that has the exact blueprint for this thing.

“The basic truth of the whole matter is the connection with you and your little ones [children]. There is so many different ways to find it. There’s no one rule or one particular way.

“I speak to my kinds like say they be my mates. I don’t boss them around. I talk to them the way I talk to my friends and mom.

“I get a lot of jabs [trolling]. I got a lot of people that say stuff about me. People have trolled me severally on social media. And, sometimes it hurts. Sometimes some people will just go on social media to say rubbish. It’s just like terrorists bombing innocent people.

“And I will start wondering how till today, none of those critics the way they are concerned about my family come to assist in paying my children’s school fees. Not even a single soul.”
