Does 2Baba have an eighth baby from an unknown woman?

In 2022, rumors began to circulate that Nigerian musician, 2face, popularly known as 2Baba, was expecting his eighth child with an unknown woman, leading to a lot of speculation and controversy in the media. While the singer initially kept quiet about the rumors, he eventually released a statement addressing the issue and requesting privacy for himself and his family.

2Baba already had seven children with three different women at the time, which added to the controversy surrounding the news of a potential "eighth child". Many fans and critics alike were quick to criticize the musician for having so many children with multiple women, which they felt was inappropriate given his status as a public figure and role model.

They went on to describe the rumors as "fake news" and reiterated that 2face was not expecting a child with another woman. The denial of the allegations came as a relief to many of the musician's fans who were concerned about the effect that another child could have on his personal life and his career.
