Nigerian music icon, Innocent Idibia, widely known as 2Baba, has kicked off the new year with a lighthearted post acknowledging the rising stars in the Afrobeats genre while humorously claiming to have transformed into an upcoming artist.
As one of the pioneers whose contributions shaped the Nigerian music industry, 2Baba’s influence on Afrobeats is immeasurable. In a social media post marking the beginning of the year, the multi-award-winning artist paid homage to the emerging Afrobeats superstars, playfully referring to himself as one of the “New Cats.”
For those unfamiliar with the term, “New Cats” colloquially describes a new generation of individuals leading a particular sector. In the realm of Nigerian music, this term gained prominence when megastar Davido used it to identify the new wave of stars elevating Afrobeats, causing a stir, especially with his inclusion of Burna Boy in the list of Afrobeats New Cats.
