2Baba Reflects on Fame and Controversy Surrounding "African Queen" Song

Nigerian music legend 2Baba, also known as Innocent Idibia, discusses the significance of his iconic song "African Queen" in his music journey. Released in 2004 as part of his debut solo album "Face 2 Face," the track brought him international recognition and multiple awards.

Despite its success, the song has been marred by accusations of theft from his former bandmate Blackface. The debate resurfaced in August 2025 when Billboard named "African Queen" the greatest Afrobeat song of all time.
