It Doesn’t Reduce Who I Am If Young Artistes Don’t Recognise Me As Legend – 2face Idibia

Veteran Nigerian singer, Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as 2face Idibia, has said he is not bothered about legendary recognition by the new generation of singers.

the ‘African Queen’ crooner stated this during an interview in the latest episode of the Afrobeats podcast hosted by Adesope Olajide, also known as Shopsydoo.

He said nobody owes him anything because it doesn’t reduce him in any way if young artistes fail to recognise his legendary status.

However, he appreciates when they pay him tribute in recognition of his legendary status, but it is not mandatory for them to do so.

The only thing is, definitely, I appreciate it when people recognise [my legendary status]. There’s nobody that won’t appreciate that. I appreciate when people recognise but I don’t take it too personal when they don’t. That one na the person ignorance.

“Nobody owes person anything because everybody that comes, they are going to tell their own stories. They are not going to start telling my own story.

Every artist that comes up now, even if they get inspiration from me or anybody, they are going to use it to elevate themselves. And that is their own stories.”

 

He said, “Nobody owes me anything. For me, it [my legendary status] is there. It’s never going to go away. It doesn’t reduce who I’m if young artistes don’t recognise my legendary status.
