The legendary African singer lost his father, Pa Michael Idibia, to prostate cancer in August 2014. They had a healthy relationship, and the singer has only the nicest things to say about his Dad.

“My Dad is the kindest human being I ever encountered in my life. The most trouble-free,…I never see person wey no get…e no get one single problem.” 2face told My Africa Podcast, in an interview.

“So that thing come become problem say you no get problem. Why you no go get problem?

The singer also revealed his consolation thought, stating that he finds solace in believing that Pa Idibia resides in heaven.

“He’s the kindest man I’ve ever met in my life and I definitely miss him. I take consolation in the fact that, he is in a better place. I take consolation in knowing that he is in that place that they call Heaven.

“If him no make heaven, then nobody for this world go make heaven. I believe that one. I believe it 1000%, say if my father no make heaven, nobody for this world go make heaven…Na the way wey I fit describe my father be that. That’s the only way I can describe him.“

With his father gone, 2face admits that Pa Idibia left a void in his life, and that he constantly fills it up by living a good life, and aspiring every day to be a better person.

“The way I fill it is to live a life that he will not look down on me and be disappointed. I just try to fill the void with always checking myself, and okay, “What would my Dad think? What would he think”.
