Former Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, has finally addressed the rumoured long-standing beef with Afropop legend, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba.
In 2010, the music star 2Baba released a hit song titled “Only Me”, after which rumours spread that in 2006, the former Chelsea star Mikel Obi had ignored him at a London club.
Although 2Baba had stated that the song was never intended as a diss track or about Mikel, denying any such event ever took place,
Until recently, Mikel had never spoken about the rumours. However, when a curious fan asked him about it, he clarified that he never snubbed 2Baba at a London club.
Mikel emphasised that he is a huge fan of 2Baba and would never have done anything to disrespect him.
The Chelsea star posted a video of himself relaxing at home, where he can be seen listening to a song by the late South African legend Brenda Fassie.
In his caption, he wrote, “When the music hits hard and you can’t get enough, Have a good Sunday, my people.”
Reacting to the video, an Instagram user identified as @xfranky22 asked the ex-football star about the old viral reports, saying:
“Did you truly snub 2face at a club in London back in 2006?”
Mikel debunked the rumour, saying:
“No, I never did. I am a big fan of his. So I wouldn’t do such a thing. Have a lovely day.”
