Former Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, has finally addressed the long-standing rumours about a beef with legendary singer, 2Baba (formerly 2face). In 2006, it was speculated that Mikel had snubbed 2Baba at a London club, which fuelled the alleged feud. Four years later, 2Baba released a hit song titled “Only Me,” which some believed was directed at their supposed beef, although 2Baba denied it being a diss track.
Recently, Mikel took the opportunity to clarify the issue when a fan questioned him about the alleged snub on Instagram. The curious fan asked Mikel if he had truly snubbed 2Baba at a London club in 2006. Mikel firmly debunked the rumour, stating that he is a huge fan of 2Baba and would never do anything to disrespect him.
The revelation comes as a relief to many fans who were curious about the rumoured tension between the football star and the music legend. Mikel’s response reflects his admiration and respect for 2Baba as an artist and a person.
In a separate incident, Mikel Obi recently recounted a harrowing experience when he paid a significant amount of money to rescue his father, Pa Michael, from kidnappers in 2018. Pa Michael was abducted while travelling to a funeral, and the kidnappers demanded a ransom. Mikel’s bravery and determination were evident when he led the Super Eagles in a match against Argentina just hours after negotiating with the kidnappers.
The football star’s candid responses provide a glimpse into his character, earning him admiration and support from his fans.
