During the podcast, 2Baba stirred significant reactions by asserting that while a man can love and respect one woman, sexual exclusivity remains a challenge due to "natural biology." He had stated, "Man was not built to be sexually with just one woman."
The 49-year-old music legend admitted in his apology that he poorly expressed himself and took full responsibility for the ensuing backlash. He specifically apologized to his current wife, Natasha Osawaru, and his children, stating they do not deserve to be embroiled in the controversy. He described Natasha as "amazing, wonderful, smart." He also extended his apology to fans, his parents, and those who hold him in high regard, emphasizing, "This is not me… I’m terribly sorry for allowing myself to get to that place. I own up to my mistakes."
In the podcast, 2Baba also confirmed the end of his marriage with actress Annie Idibia, explaining that despite their best efforts, it "just wasn’t working anymore." He advised couples to be honest about their relationships and avoid staying in unhappy marriages due to public judgment.
Despite the backlash, 2Baba maintained that all the women in his life, including Annie and the mothers of his children, are "amazing" and possess their unique strengths. He clarified that his current relationship with Natasha is founded on character and emotional connection rather than physical appearance, adding that he would "walk away" from any woman who disrespects him. Ultimately, 2Baba stated that he is unconcerned with online opinions, with his primary focus being the well-being of his children.
