2Baba my mentor, I copy him a lot – Peruzzi

Tobechukwu Victor Okoh, better known as Peruzzi, a Nigerian artist, has disclosed that iconic musician Innocent Ujah Idibia, aka 2Baba, is his mentor.

Peruzzi acknowledged to stealing his words and musical approach from the ‘African Queen’ crooner “a lot.”

Peruzzi was interviewed on a recent episode of Pop Central’s Zero Conditions programme.

He said, “2Baba is my daddy [mentor]. I copy from him a lot. If you listened to ‘Amaka’, you’d notice I copied his verse I just changed some things on it.

“Till now, I still copy from him. I have to say the truth.”

Peruzzi also stated during the show that he is a “special” artist because he is an all-rounder.

“I can do everything when it comes to music. You’ve met every artist, they know only some things, they don’t know everything. That’s why I am special,” he said.

Kanyidaily recalls that Peruzzi boasted of more than 200 songs written for his colleagues while granting an interview.
