Innocent Idibia popularly known as Tuface Idibia in a recent interview talks about his music, kids and plans for his education.
When asked if Tuface is a player, he replied:
"If I were a player, they wouldn’t have caught me like that."
And on his role as a father, Tuface
who has six kids from different women said it has not been easy, as his work which entails a lot of travelling and such, he does not
see his kids as often as he wants to. He also said although he had planned to have
just one wife and kids, he has accepted things the way they have turned
out.
When asked if he’ll have qualms about his children following his
footsteps, he simply said,
he won’t discourage any of his children if
they decide to follow in his footsteps musically. As a matter of fact,
he’ll be a good adviser.
One good thing though is that Tuface definitely plans to go back to
school to get a law degree but he is not certain when that will be.
On
why it took so long to settle with his wife Annie, he said,
"I don’t
really have an answer to that question, because I don’t know. I can’t
explain why I don’t have an answer to that, but somehow, by the grace of
God, we are still together."
Excerpts from the Interview:
So, why the nickname Tuface/2Face?
According to the artiste,, it is a way of letting his fans know that
his public and private lives are two separate entities. So the Tuface
they see in the public, on TV, in papers, and hear on the radio is the
public figure, who is different from who he really is. We can say it’s a
case of Tuface(the star) and Innocent (the man).
On fame and worth?
Tuface says fame
"takes away your privacy and freedom to do some kind
of simple, basic things. Like I can’t go to Iya Christopher to sit down
and eat amala, the way I dey do before".
And on financial worth/value,
he says, "I never gather, but I dey try."
Tuface also attributed his
journey so far to hard work, his fans and the grace of God.
