Speaking to Sun over the weekend, he said, some media houses where using his kids against him in a hurtful way.
Popular singer, 2Face Idibia in a recent interview opens up on his happiest and saddest moments during the span of his career.
Speaking to Sun over the weekend, he said, "My
saddest moment was when they were writing things about me some years
ago while I was celebrating the kids coming. Some people were using it
against me, and saying some hurtful things to put me down. Another sad
moment was when I lost my dad. All of a sudden I realised that this man
who used to carry us on his shoulders and take us out for shopping and
all that was going to die. Although, I tried all I could but I couldn’t
help him, and he died. I cried like a baby."
Talking about his happiest moments, "There
are so many first moments I could describe as my happiest. For me, it
has been a string of firsts, and I am glad that I am a pioneer.
Officially, I was the first artiste to be endorsed by a very big company
and that was a very happy moment for me. I was the first to be declared
by a big record label as the first artiste to sell above a million
copies. I was the first to be on the popular Billboard charts.
"I was also the first Nigerian artiste
to have his music played on MTV Base Africa. In fact, the list is
endless; and my kids are huge sources of inspiration for me, even
though, when they were coming and I was rejoicing that I was going to be
a dad, some people were complaining; thanks to their mums and my wife."
Speaking about his regrets, "I
am not somebody that likes to regret. I feel that whatever that happens
has happened. The only thing I think of is how to blend and turn things
positively. I don’t just sit down; fold my hands and start regretting.
Instead, I re-adjust and move on."
2Face, a member of the defunct Plantashun Boiz, kick-started the Afro hip hop revolution of the late 1990s.
