    Innocent Ujah Idibia

Innocent Ujah Idibia is an R and B artiste from Nigeria. He is popularly known as 2Face (Tuface) Idibia and also goes by 2Baba. He grew up in Jos with a love of music but didn't get into the act seriously until he moved into Lagos in 1997. 2Face signifies the inside and outside of people - outside being the first impressions and the inside being what a person is once you get to know him/her.

He became part of the Nigerian RnB group, Plantashun Boiz, together with Faze and BlackFace. They had several hit singles with songs like Emmemma, If life, Knock mi off, One N Only, You N I, Don't You Know, among others. All three have gone to have successful solo careers even though 2Baba believes they may get back together to make more music.

His debut album had the single African Queen which shot him to worldwide fame. He won Kora awards and was adjudged MTV Europe's best African artiste. He is the face of young African music.
He is starting an NGO as well called the Innocent Idibia Foundation to help less priviliged kids.

Some of his songs include Odi ya, Anything, Ocho and Proud to be an African which he did with Sound Sultan, Faze and Wyclef Jean.

That's a great story about 2Face. I hope he gets back with Black Face and Faze Alone to do more music.
It's sad those armed robbers attacked him too.
He's the best though, I love his new album.

It seems TuFace is recording a new with Black Face and Faze. He's had a magnificent solo career and even though his second album hasn't done as well as the first, I am sure 2Baba's star will continue to shine.
So rumour has it that TuFace has made more money than any other man in his clan. Hmm.
Anyway, 2Baba has been named a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations' world food programme, joining other Nigerian icons like Wole Soyinka, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, John Fashanu who are also working with the UN to fight different causes across the African continent.
