2Baba butchers meat in a trending video that’s got social media users talking—some amused, others stunned, and a few simply confused about the music legend’s new vibe.
The viral clip shows the legendary singer casually slicing meat in what appears to be a local market. Dressed simply and focused on the task, 2Baba looked worlds apart from the pop icon fans have known for decades.
The clip is believed to have been taken in Benin, where the singer has been spending more time lately, living quietly with his partner. But while some found the video endearing, others weren’t so impressed.
“From legend to Guinness,” one user quipped.
“Them don turn our legend to alapata,” another joked.
Still, some fans saw the lighter side: “I don’t know, but I love this for him,” a comment read.
“I feel like he is intentionally doing these things to have people troll,” another speculated.
The reactions cut across admiration, mockery, and curiosity. While some viewed it as a fall from grace, others felt it showed 2Baba’s down-to-earth nature and ability to live freely outside the celebrity bubble.
Interestingly, this moment comes shortly after the “African Queen” crooner unveiled his new management team. Just this week, 2Baba announced a rebrand aimed at reinventing his music legacy. According to him, change is part of growth, and his new team understands where his journey is headed next.
However, the internet hasn’t forgotten his recent controversy. In an interview, 2Baba drew criticism for claiming men weren’t wired to be with one woman sexually. The backlash was swift. Days later, he issued a public apology to his wife, Annie Idibia, whom he described as the love of his life, as well as to his fans and children. He admitted he messed up and said the statement didn’t represent who he truly is.
