The music veteran cleared the air during a recent episode of the +234 Mzansi Podcast, hosted by comedian and actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, better known as Nedu. In the candid conversation, 2Baba confidently debunked the speculations, asserting that he remains financially stable, thanks to smart decisions and strategic investments over the years.
