2Face’s Son Chooses Medicine Over Music

Innocent Idibia, the legendary Nigerian musician popularly known as 2Face, has revealed that his first son, Nino, has decided not to follow in his famous father’s musical footsteps. Instead, the talented teenager harbors an ambition in the medical field.

The “African Queen” crooner shared the news while bringing Nino onto the stage at an event in Abuja. The occasion was a celebration marking 2Face’s twenty-fifth year in the highly competitive Nigerian music industry.

Despite Nino being a talented sax player, his father told the cheering crowd that his son’s dream lies elsewhere. “Making some noise for my son Nino, mehn,” he announced, drawing the young man into the spotlight.

2Face then shared Nino’s chosen career path, adding: “He said he doesn’t want to be a singer. He wants to be a doctor,” a revelation that was met with cheers from the audience.

Nino Idibia, who was born on January 15, 2006, is the son of 2Face and his former partner, Sumbo Adeoye. He is currently an active figure as a saxophonist, model, and social media influencer.

The choice is notable given that children frequently follow their parents into the Nigerian music industry. Recently, Wizkid’s first son, Boluwatife Balogun, launched his own musical career at the age of fourteen with his debut EP, Champions’ Arrival, under the stage name Champz.
