Popular comedian, Gordons, has apologised for
calling Innocent 2face ‘2baba’ Idibia an illiterate.
Gordons who said this an interview with
GoldmyneTV called out the singer over his
decision to back out of the One Voice Nigeria
protest, adding that the singer since he cannot
express himself eloquently, he shouldn’t have
attempted to rally Nigerians to protest.
He said music was the only way 2face could
express himself and as such, he should have
used that medium to protest against government
policies and that he is the “only illiterate who
can sing correctly.”
“2Face is my mentor when it comes to music.
He is one musician I adore, legendary to me. But
you cannot use a tool that you are not used to.
“How are you going to express yourself 2Face
when microphone is right in your face and you
are asked to express your grievance and the
reason why you are protesting? You can’t
express yourself, it’s not your game. Do it with
music you are used to. 2Face is the only
illiterate who can sing correctly,” he had said.
Moments after the video went viral with
criticisms from celebrities and other Nigerians,
Gordons put out a video saying he had called
the musician to apologise.
The comedian said he was only doing his job
and never intended to “insult” 2baba.
He said: “I just did an SMS of an apology to
2face and his family because sometimes, people
misunderstand why we do what we do.
“I’m just a comedian, I’m just like a
gynaecologist who’s doing his job. It doesn’t
matter who comes, I will do my job.
“This is not intended to insult 2face or his
family. He has even said it before in his songs.
But I understand the situation we are in and I felt
that was a little bit below the belt and I had to
apologise. This wasn’t intended to bring a fight.”
