“I F*ed Up” — 2Face Publicly Apologises Over Viral ‘Men Can’t Be Sexually Faithful’ Comment**

Legendary Nigerian singer 2Face Idibia, 49, has bowed to mounting pressure and issued a heartfelt apology after his controversial claim that men are not sexually built to be with one woman sparked outrage online. The Afropop icon posted an emotional video on his Instagram page early Wednesday, July 3, 2025, admitting he “f***ed up” in the way he expressed himself.

The backlash followed 2Face’s appearance on Nedu Wazobia’s Honest Bunch Podcast, where he said, “A man is not built to sexually be with one woman.” His words ignited a firestorm of condemnation from fans, feminists, and public commentators who accused him of promoting infidelity and disrespecting women.

Wearing a somber tone in the apology video, 2Face said, “I’m going to pay with a heavy price. I’m going to face the consequences.” He went on to apologize directly to his wife, Natasha Osawuru, acknowledging that his remarks were “unlegendly” and disappointing to the millions who look up to him.

“I said it because I wanted people to understand me, but maybe I didn’t say it appropriately,” he admitted. “One thing I know for sure is I’m sorry to my wife, Natasha. Calling me a legend is an honor, but this my talk is quite unlegendly.”

The apology marks the latest twist in 2Face’s highly scrutinized personal life. Just five months ago, he formally separated from actress Annie Macaulay-Idibia, who had previously accused him of serial infidelity. The singer has at least seven children with three different women.

Fans remain divided. While some commend him for taking responsibility, others argue that his views reinforce harmful stereotypes that enable male infidelity while vilifying female independence. The incident has also reignited conversations about celebrity accountability and the power of words in shaping public values.

Despite the apology, many await a statement from Natasha, whose name 2Face invoked in the video. As the drama unfolds, one thing is clear: the voice behind African Queen is learning that public trust, once fractured, takes more than music to rebuild.
