“Men Aren’t Wired for One Woman”—2Face Sparks Backlash After Declaring Monogamy Impossible

Nigerian music legend, Innocent “2Face” Idibia, has once again stirred public outrage after declaring that it is impossible for a man to remain sexually committed to one woman. The controversial statement came during a candid interview with media personality Nedu Wazobia, five months after 2Face confirmed his separation from wife Annie Macaulay Idibia.

The “African Queen” crooner, who recently went public with his new lover Natasha Osawuru, boldly told Nedu: “A man is not built to sexually be with one woman. A man can give his heart and love to one woman, but sexually? It’s impossible.” His comment immediately ignited heated reactions across social media, especially among women and celebrities.

Before the split, Annie had repeatedly accused 2Face of infidelity, publicly revealing that he fathered five children with other women while they were still married. Although the couple had previously battled rumours of breakups, the final announcement earlier this year shocked fans who saw them as one of Nigeria’s entertainment power couples.

During the podcast, when asked if being loyal is possible for someone like him, 2Face responded in Pidgin: “Man no fit. I no go talk about other men o, but for myself, I know say e no dey possible.” His bluntness, while praised by some for its honesty, has been slammed by others who believe he’s glorifying cheating and disrespecting women.

2Face and Annie tied the knot in 2012, and their marriage has been marked by public dramas, love declarations, and betrayals. Despite Annie’s efforts to stand by him through past scandals, fans now see 2Face’s recent remarks as a final blow to their once-adored union.

Social commentators have weighed in, with some asking whether celebrities should be allowed to normalize unfaithfulness under the guise of “male nature.” Others suggest 2Face’s perspective reflects a deeper cultural issue that downplays responsibility in relationships.

Whether brutally honest or recklessly insensitive, 2Face’s statement has reignited the age-old debate about monogamy, masculinity, and celebrity accountability. And with his love life once again at the center of public discourse, it seems the drama is far from over.
