Nigerian music icon 2Baba has opened up about his first son, Nino, and why he isn’t following in his father’s footsteps despite growing up around music. Speaking in a recent interview, the legendary singer explained that, unlike what many people assume, his children are not under any pressure to pursue music simply because he is one of Africa’s biggest music exports.

2Baba revealed that Nino, his first child with Sumbo Adeoye, has a completely different set of interests and passions. According to him, the young talent is more drawn to sports and other creative fields that have nothing to do with music. The proud father noted that he fully supports Nino’s choices and has never tried to persuade him to become a musician.

He emphasized that the best thing a parent can do is to guide and encourage their children while allowing them to chase their own dreams. 2Baba added that all his children are unique in their own ways, and he is more focused on helping them grow into the best versions of themselves, whether or not they choose to pursue entertainment.

The revelation has since sparked warm reactions from fans who praised 2Baba for promoting freedom, individuality, and healthy parenting qualities many consider part of his legacy beyond music.
