In the interview, 2Face speaks on his wife, Annie Macaulay-Idibia, his family and
marriage, music, bleaching and the biggest rumour about himself.
Read excerpts below and share your thoughts;
On married life and
having a baby in the house again: “So far so good. We are still babies in
the marriage institution so we are taking it easy. We are learning something
new every day within our marriage. Having a baby in the house has definitely
changed some things. I can’t do some things I used to do like go out and not
come back home the same night. Prior to having a baby in the house, I could
just go to a friend’s house and stay the night. But now I have to take
permission (laughs). It has definitely grounded me. It is a good change though
and I don’t miss the old days at all.”
On if marriage has
changed anything about he and Annie’s relationship: “Definitely! We
understand and tolerate each other more.”
On what makes Annie
marriage material and the union so special: “Wow. I guess because she’s
good peoples. That is the only one sentence I can use to describe her. I hate
the way she knows me so well.”
On why he didn’t go
the Fela route and have 18 wives: “(Laughs) One woman alone is a lot of
trouble. Having 18 is a suicide mission. But I will consider it. I will talk to
Annie and ask her if she can compromise (laughs).”
On DJ Xclusive saying
Nigerian men prefer light skinned ladies (watch): “I think that is his own
preference. He can’t just generalize like that. In Nigeria, there are men that
like big women and some that like skinny women. Same way I know so many guys
that only go for dark skinned women, and being light skinned is a turn off for
them, I also know some men that prefer light skinned women. Most of the women
that I have dated are dark skinned so I guess you can say that is my own
preference, which is good as my wife is actually dark skinned too, so no
worries there.”
On praises from
fellow artistes: “I feel honoured and privileged to be referred to as a
legend. But at the same time it puts so much pressure on me when I am
performing and releasing new music as expectations can become too high. I just
want people to keep an open mind. When you hear new music from me, treat it
like you are listening to me for the first time, so there is no pressure.”
On another profession
apart from music: “Maybe I would be a goal keeper for a football team
somewhere (laughs).
On his craziest fan
encounter: “This girl tried to touch the guy downstairs. It was very
alarming.”
On the
funniest/biggest rumour about himself: “Probably has to be the rumour that
I had died. I started getting calls from friends that “Oh boy they said u don
die”. So I am sitting there like really? I am dead? Death is no joke but I just
try to make light of rumours like that.”
