Baby Daddies waiting to follow in 2face’s footsteps


As award-winning, singer 2face Idibia, exited the singles club, the world is watching some of Entertainment’s industries ‘eligible’ bachelors.
Afro-Super-Star Innocent Idibia has happily tie the nuptial knots with his heartthrob of many years, Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay in Dubai. For the couple, who are both stars in their own rights, the much-vaunted wedding is the climax of a relationship that has somewhat managed to survive many storms and crises.
Before 2face made the all-important decision to walk down the aisle with Annie, many music fans had literally concluded that he was not marriageable. With about five children from three women and two more on the way, most single ladies had stopped dreaming of grabbing him for keeps.

For a while, the talented singer was the butt of many jokes rolling down the lips of stand-up comedian. Some of them even referred to him as Father Abraham’. But all that now belongs in the past.
2face and his bride are counting their blessings and looking forward to a future filled with marital bliss having just returned from their honeymoon. Unfortunately the same cannot yet be said about several of his colleagues who have yet to summon the courage to quit bachelorhood.
It is no longer news that the likes of Timaya, Terry G, Ice Prince, Wizkid and May’D have been weaving in and out of relationships. They seem to have many things going for them: they are young, famous, rich and enjoy lots of goodwill from music fans. The only snag is that they seem to be contented with making babies with Baby Mamas.
A few months after Timaya’s romance with Empress Njamah packed up, the former dreadlocked dancehall star found happiness when his girlfriend, Barbara, was delivered of a baby girl.
But Timaya surprised many music fans who had expected him to marry the mother of his daughter. In an interview with Punch, he made it clear that marriage was not in his agenda.
“I wanted to have a baby by Barbara because she is my kind of woman; the kind of woman I’d like to spend the rest of my life with and this was why I decided from the outset that I’d go the whole hog with her. But she knows that marriage is not something we will dabble into now.
“Marriage comes with a lot of responsibilities which are beyond financial or material things. God has blessed me with everything a man needs to have a successful married life and you can bet that Emmanuella and Barbara will get the best of everything money can buy but, personally, I don’t feel ready for it,” he had said.
In November, 2012, Terry G’s fiancée, Mimi, put to bed a baby boy in London. It was a double blessing for the baby daddy who had just moved into his own house at the Iju-Ishaga area of Lagos.
But, while Terry G had taken the first step towards solemnizing his relationship with his lover, Chocolate City rapper Ice Prince and Wizkid appeared to be too busy trying to weave their way through a maze of starry-eyed female admirers.
One starry-eyed girl named Bimbo Babatunde was eventually delivered of a baby boy in March 2012 and Ice Prince (real name Panshak Zamani) is said to be the father of the child.
Although he kept denying it, Wizkid was rumoured to have fathered a baby girl. Sources said the evidence that he might have joined the league of ‘baby daddies’ lay in a picture of himself and a cute baby girl that he hung in the living room of his new home in Lagos. But the artiste is reluctant to tell.
Apart from that, Wizkid was at one time said to be deeply involved with controversial actress, Tonto Dike.
Not to forget Peter from PSquare who has two kids from his girlfriend lola Omotayo. No-one knows if they would have another or walk to the alter.
Now that 2face is finally calling it quits with a stormy bachelorhood, the question is: will the others now waiting in the wings follow in his footsteps? Only time will tell.
