Veteran Nigerian musician, 9ice, has penned a heartfelt message to his colleague and friend, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face or 2Baba, as he marks his 50th birthday.
The “Gongo Aso” crooner used the special occasion to both celebrate 2Face’s achievements and warn him of the envy that often surrounds success in the entertainment industry. According to 9ice, many people are not happy about the legendary singer’s accomplishments and secretly wish for his downfall.
In a video message that has since gone viral, 9ice expressed his admiration for the “African Queen” hitmaker while assuring him of continued greatness despite challenges.
“2Face, happy birthday to you. I wish you long life and prosperity. I know so many wish you fall but you shall never fall. I love you. You shall prosper,” 9ice said.
The singer added words of encouragement, reminding 2Face that setbacks are only temporary and that he would always rise above them.
“You are not going to fall. It’s just a phase of life. You will always overcome it. I love you. God bless you. Happy birthday to you,” he added.
2Face, one of Africa’s most celebrated musicians, has enjoyed a career spanning over two decades, with timeless hits that have earned him both local and international recognition.
As he turns 50, tributes from fans, colleagues, and industry leaders continue to pour in, cementing his status as a true legend of African music.
