Renowned music executive and CEO of Kennis Music, Kenny Ogungbe, has shared intriguing details about the efforts his record label made to curb iconic singer 2Face, also known as 2Baba, from indulging in womanising during his time with the label.
In a candid conversation on a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, the industry veteran, fondly called Baba Keke, recounted how women constantly sought the attention of the young and charismatic 2Face.
However, Kennis Music took measures to shield him from their advances.
“When 2Face was with us [at Kennis Music], we prevented him from seeing girls. Girls come to look for him all the time but we didn’t allow him to see any of them,” Ogungbe revealed.
But things changed when the singer left the label.
“When he left our record label, there was nothing we could do about the situation anymore,” he added.
The music mogul also reflected on how 2Baba’s reputation as a womaniser became a subject of public scrutiny.
He said, “Even when he was becoming the butt of the jokes of some comedian [for being a womaniser, I didn’t call him to question him because he’s a matured man. Every man has his cross.”
2Baba, known for his chart-topping hits and undeniable talent, made headlines throughout his career for his relationships, which resulted in multiple baby mamas.
However, in 2012, he married one of them, Annie Idibia, solidifying their long-standing bond.
