2Baba Opens Up About the ‘African Queen’ Controversy: “He Will Come to His Senses One Day”

Nigerian music legend 2Baba has finally addressed the long-standing controversy surrounding the iconic song African Queen. In a recent statement, he revealed that while he wrote most of the song himself, the track was essentially a collaborative effort between him and Blackface Naija.

“It’s a collabo. I wrote most of the song actually, but we wrote the song together basically... He (Blackface Naija) will come to his senses one day,” 2Baba said.

For years, fans have speculated about the true authorship of African Queen, one of the most beloved Nigerian love anthems. Blackface, who was part of the duo but later went solo, has publicly claimed he deserves more credit for the song’s creation.

2Baba’s statement acknowledges Blackface’s contributions while affirming his own role as the primary writer. His comment about Blackface “coming to his senses” hints at ongoing tension but also suggests hope for reconciliation in the future.

African Queen remains a timeless classic that helped put Nigerian music on the global stage. Despite the controversy, the song’s impact and legacy continue to shine.
