“We will be celebrating our friend, founder, brother, mentor and someone who, as an artiste, represents everything that is great about Nigeria and the African music industry as far as this generation is concerned,” he added.
Speaking on the vision behind the creation of the week-long celebration, 2baba said, “It’s just a medium to thank the lord and have fun at the same time.”
2baba stated his biggest legacy in 20 years was the fact he was part of the fire and driving force that started and kept the whole movement of new generation Afropop that has broken through to the global stage. He was also quick to kill the idea of a group performance when asked of any possibility of a reunion with members of Plantashun Boiz.
He further emphasised that he has every intention of continuing to practice music and writing songs and will continue dropping hit tracks for fans across the world, describing music as a passion and not a necessity.
