Nigerian social media was set ablaze this week as Daddy Freeze, the ever-outspoken media personality, publicly called out music icon 2Baba for his recent apology video. Freeze described the video as “insincere” and “overly dramatic,” sparking a firestorm of debate across the nation. The saga has quickly become one of the most talked-about controversies in Nigerian entertainment, with fans and celebrities alike weighing in.
“This Is Not the 2Baba We Know!”
Daddy Freeze, known for his candid takes, did not mince words as he addressed 2Baba’s apology regarding his controversial statement that “men aren’t built to be sexually committed to one woman.” According to Freeze, the apology was “exaggerated” and lacked the authenticity expected from a legend of 2Baba’s calibre. He boldly stated:
“2Baba, what is this? What do you want to turn 2Mama for us? Do2dtun was right, we don’t like this 2Face that we are seeing. E be like say Jebeto don dey control Pinopi o!”
Freeze further revealed his frustration at failed attempts to reach 2Baba privately, explaining why he chose to go public:
“Some people will say why didn’t I reach 2Face privately, we’ve tried to convene a meeting with him three times and he refused to show up. So, I cannot watch somebody I know and love continue to depreciate like this and keep quiet.”
“A Legend Needs a Legendary Apology”
Daddy Freeze insisted that a simple, heartfelt apology would have sufficed, rather than what he described as a “childish” and repetitive confession:
“Alright, you said something that didn’t make sense, apologise you’ve legend status, a one-line apology. Which one is, ‘I fk up, I fk up’? You are not a child, 2Baba.”
He went on to stress that Nigerians expect more from their icons, especially someone who has inspired millions with his music and personal story.
Freeze’s comments have resonated with many fans who feel that 2Baba’s recent actions are a far cry from the dignified presence they once admired.

The clash between Daddy Freeze and 2Baba has become the talk of the town, dominating headlines and sparking conversations about authenticity, accountability, and the expectations we place on our icons.
