Fresh controversies surrounding legendary Nigerian music icon 2Face Idibia have taken over social media, following a viral video showing the singer being restrained by London police after an alleged altercation with his partner, Natasha.
The incident opened the floodgates for former members of 2Face’s management team, who took to social media to reveal shocking details about the artist’s personal struggles, financial dealings, and behind-the-scenes challenges. Many Nigerians were left stunned by the level of information disclosed.
Observers questioned why such handlers were never bound by Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), as their revelations painted an unflattering picture of a superstar who once dominated African music charts.
THE £3,000 “HOLD THIS” PAYMENT – A RED FLAG?
One of the most alarming claims made by the ex-handlers was the disclosure that 2Face allegedly accepted £3,000 from a show promoter as a “hold this” or pocket-money allowance ahead of a performance.
For a globally recognised superstar of 2Face’s calibre, this revelation shocked fans. Entertainment insiders note that per-diem money or pocket allowance is not something that should be handed physically to an artist of his standing — especially not in the backseat of a car.
At his level, every financial transaction — from performance fees to travel allowances — should typically be routed directly through his management team and settled via official accounts.
WHERE WAS HIS MANAGEMENT TEAM?
Industry professionals insist that veteran artists like 2Face are expected to have:
- An Artist Manager
- A Publicity Manager
- An Administrative/Financial Manager
- A dedicated legal and accounting team
Such teams ensure all performance agreements include per-diem allocations for the artist, band members, crew, and accompanying personnel.
The fact that 2Face allegedly had to request £1,000 out of the £3,000 to be sent to his son at the University of Abuja has further fueled speculation about the singer’s financial state.
IS 2FACE BROKE OR POORLY MANAGED?
For many fans, the idea of a superstar of his status relying on such “hold this” payments suggests deeper financial or managerial issues. Questions arise about his royalty income, investments, and current revenue streams.
If these claims are true, it raises concerns about whether the beloved singer may be facing financial hardship or whether he has simply been surrounded by the wrong team.
WOULD THIS HAPPEN TO OTHER SUPERSTARS?
Imagine Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Flavour, Kizz Daniel, Tiwa Savage, or Tems receiving £3,000 in cash from a promoter in the backseat of a vehicle before a show.
It’s almost unthinkable.
FANS NOW AWAIT THE FULL STORY
While the public waits for 2Face or his official management to address these claims, one thing is clear: the revelations have raised serious questions about the internal structure guiding the iconic artist’s career.
Despite everything, fans remain hopeful and continue to wish the legendary musician strength and clarity during this turbulent period.
