    2baba needs therapy, evaluation, Do2dtun reacts to apology video

    Media personality Do2dtun has expressed deep concerns for 2baba’s well-being, following his recent apology video on comment of men’s lack of s3xual faithfulness. 

    According to Do2dtun, he sees that as a sign of vulnerability and believes that 2baba is being taken advantage of, forced to apologise and act in ways that aren’t genuine.

    According to him, 2baba’s behaviour is unusual and concerning, and he thinks the singer needs therapy or evaluation to address potential underlying issues.

    Do2dtun attributes 2baba’s behavior to possible trauma and fear, revealing that the singer’s vulnerability is being exploited by someone close to him.

    He questioned why 2baba is being made to retract his statements and apologise like a child, emphasising that the legendary singer hardly addresses issues in such a manner.

    Do2dtun wrote on X: “Please, I don’t like this 2afce I’m seeing. Something is not right at all. He can express himself how he chooses to, but why always make him retract a video or apologise like a child?. He is vulnerable, and& someone is milking it. Whoever is holding that camera is wicked.

    “Someone is forcing him to be who he is not. 2face hardly addresses anything, even in his worst scandals. He never addresses anything like this. Something is wrong. He is regressing, and I hate it.

    “I don’t care what his personal life or choices caused for him, cos that will be our 1st choice of defence. We can’t all judge him sometimes. He can’t be wrong all the time. Even if he is, I won’t replace the masterpiece he created for his mistakes. This isn’t looking good at all.

    “The apology video might be necessary to the cause it chooses to convey, but why is it sacred to just speak your truth as he lives it? The person letting him do these videos is not making him do it for his brand but for themselves. Someone is taking advantage of his situation.

    “At this point, I’ll say this out loud. I think 2Face needs help. Therapy or genuine evaluation. Something is not right at all

    “I love him so much, and I don’t know how. We allow things to happen to people because we blame them all the time. How about we don’t and look at things critically? Everyone can make their choices, but not everyone deserves to live with them. We owe it to them to set them straight sometimes.

    “From experience, trauma and fear make you vulnerable, especially when you are out of your comfort zone, a happy or safe place. The floodgates will open up, and everything will seem right even when it is wrong, and vice versa. This is where you need your true friends. This is where a 2face needs a Sound Sultan. It’s quite sad.

    “It might sound like it makes no sense now. Give it a few years and we will come back to this conversation… iree o!”.

    However, retracting his statement, he acknowledged that he made a mistake and tendered an apology to partner Natasha, kids and fans.

    In the apology, 2baba expressed deep regret for his words, describing them as not reflective of his true character.

    “I think you should try to fix your marriage but if it’s beyond that, I don’t think anybody should force anything. Only people in the marriage know exactly what they’re feeling.

    “It’s always good not to torture yourself, and not to allow society or people to dictate your feelings. Because this thing called ‘living in bondage’ is real and many people have gone to their grave very sad people.

    “So for me, if it’s obvious that people cannot work things out then I don’t think anybody should force themselves to be together”.

    2Baba also sparked controversy with his views on male fidelity, stating that men are biologically incapable of being sexually committed to one woman.

    “A man is not built to sexually be with one woman. His heart, love, and respect can be with one woman, but sexually, it’s impossible for a man”, he said.

    2Baba has moved on to a new relationship with Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru, following his divorce announcement in January 2025.

    Singer 2Baba has stated that men are biologically incapable of being s3xually faithful to one woman.

And anybody wey wan follow me argue am, fine. Man fit love one woman die, but when it comes to that sexual satisfaction it’s had. Dey seed to plenty, you no fit drop am for one woman….”, he said.
