Nigerian music icon 2Baba has publicly celebrated his son, Justin Idibia, following criticism over his absence at the teenager’s graduation ceremony in London.
Justin, the son of the award-winning singer and his former partner Pero Adeniyi, recently graduated from high school in the United Kingdom. The milestone was shared online by his mother, who posted photos from the ceremony alongside a message expressing pride in her son’s achievement.
However, the singer’s absence from the event sparked reactions on social media, with many users questioning why he was not present at such an important moment in his son’s life. Some critics also referenced his past involvement in the lives of his other children, suggesting inconsistency in his parenting presence.
Days after the ceremony, and amid growing online discussions, 2Baba broke his silence by acknowledging his son’s achievement on Instagram Stories. He shared photos from the graduation and offered a brief message of congratulations.
“Congratulations son,” he wrote.
The post appeared to be his first public reaction following the backlash, as fans continued to debate the singer’s role in his children’s milestones and the scrutiny that often surrounds celebrity family life.
Despite the criticism, the graduation has remained a moment of celebration for Justin and his family, marking a new academic milestone in his journey.
