Younger Artists Don’t Have To See Me As A Legend – 2face Idibia

Popular Nigerian singer, 2face Idibia has come out to say that the next generation of singers owe him no recognition as a legend.

He recently had his say during a recent episode of the Afrobeats podcast, which is hosted by Adesope Olajide, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, it definitely feels good when he is recognized as a legend by the young artists in the game, but he does not take it personally when he isn’t referred to as that because no one owes him any form of recognition.

2face added that it will not reduce who he is if younger singers do not recognize his legendary status.

His words, “Nobody owes me anything. For me, it [my legendary status] is there. It’s never going to go away. It doesn’t reduce who I’m if young artistes don’t recognize my legendary status.

The only thing is, definitely I appreciate it when people recognize my status as a legend. There’s nobody that won’t appreciate that. I appreciate when people recognize me, but I don’t take it too personal when they don’t. That one na the person’s ignorance.

Nobody owes anyone anything because everybody that comes they are going to tell their own stories. They are not going to start telling my own story. Every artist that comes up now, even if they get inspiration from me or anybody, they are going to use it to elevate themselves. And that is their own stories.”
