In a radio interview at Wazobia FM 2baba reveals why he decided to change his moniker.

Asked about his recent official name change, he pointed out that he is still the same person; Innocent Idibia.

He said that the change of name would probably not come as a surprise because a lot of people have been calling him ‘2Baba’ for a long time now. He further said that it was only right to officially adopt the name 2Baba as he is now more mature, a “Baba” (father) and also chief (Tafidan Kudandan in Kaduna).
