Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, fondly known as 2Baba, has opened up about his participation in Netflix’s Young, Famous & African reality show, revealing that love was the driving force behind his decision.
In a recent interview with Amatel Softgel on the Gamechanger Series, the music legend admitted that he had never watched a reality TV show before joining one.
2Baba explained, “I don’t watch reality TV, I didn’t do any research before and I never pictured myself in any reality TV stuff. I never sat down to watch any reality TV show before, only maybe if someone was watching it when I walked into a place. I really never thought I’d be in one but love makes you do things.”
When asked about his experience on the show, he described it as “interesting,” highlighting the intricacies of the production process. He humorously added, “Being on the reality TV show was interesting, seeing how they put all these things together is quite interesting. My problem is I don’t know how to not be real in a reality show so I think I was the most boring person in that whole setup. I don’t know how to separate reality from reality TV so it gets ridiculous sometimes.”
The Netflix show debuted in 2022, featuring stars from across the African continent, including Khanyi Mbau (South Africa), Diamond Platnumz (Tanzania), Annie Macaulay-Idibia (Nigeria), 2Baba (Nigeria), Zari the Boss Lady (Uganda), Naked DJ (South Africa), Nadia Nakai (South Africa), Swanky Jerry (Nigeria), Andile Ncube (South Africa), and Kayleigh Schwark (South Africa).
