Wake Up! - 2Face Idibia’s Brother Writes Him An Open Letter
Charles Idibia, the brother of legendary singer 2Face Idibia, has penned an open letter to him.
Charles was reacting to the singer's apology following a controversial interview in which he claimed a man cannot be with one woman.
Reacting, his brother urged the singer to wake up, emphasizing that he has been caged.
In a post on Instagram, he wrote:
To my dear 2Face Idibia, I love you deeply, and there are not enough words in English to express this sentiment. To the gentle, kind, loving, peaceful being, to the guy who would not intentionally hurt a fly, who would take losses in several businesses just to avoid any form of confrontations, who makes sure everyone around is comfortable even though he is not alright, who gets mute and watches himself being painted as the bad guy just to protect the same person painting him as the bad guy. To the guy who I would dare to describe as the modern-day Jesus Christ from Nigeria, because of how innocent and pure your heart is, but you will also be crucified by religious standards, to the most insanely talented musician that has ever graced my ears... I beg you today, to 'WAKE UP!
It can never be a crime to save yourself, to move on from where you were almost losing your life and soul, but you haven't moved on, you have been captured, captured from inside the frying pan to an industrial furnace... so my heart bleeds.
It's one thing for a girlfriend to snoop in your phone and read messages out of curiosity or for other relationship reasons (it can even come off as cute), but a girlfriend who breaks into your phone to announce your divorce, because she had doubts about you going through with it, who posts and deletes a picture of herself on your socials and asks Nigerians to help you beg her to marry her while you sleep, who clones your WhatsApp, deletes messages she doesn't like, and replies messages pretending to be you to steamroll her agendas, a control freak inside your emails and your accounts, who convinces you to abandon your management and businesses in Lagos and move to Abuja, just to become her arm candy and dragged all over Benin and to places the real you would definitely not go, who would make you defend lies and tolerate chaos, who would sabotage your business trips... who would do a whole lot of rubbish (I will not mention here out of shame) and hide under your name, who would adopt your surname, tell strangers, and whoever cares to listen, that she is your wife while you are still legally married.
A girlfriend who makes you eat your words from a podcast just because you didn't mention her name, the way she would have liked, is not a girlfriend but a psychotic fan... a cancerous leech who has come to slowly but steadily destroy you and your legacy, all in the name of love. You are in one of the episodes of those 'Crime and Investigation/Love Passion & Murder' you love to watch, and the victim at the end of the story is going to be you. How haven't you realized this? You are currently living in bo***ge.
Today, being 2-7-2025, I beg you, bro, take a couple of months off ALONE, get completely off social media, and let the music and businesses wait. Give yourself time to heal and reflect, and really focus on what's important at this stage of your life. I beg you to do this, in the name of whatever you still hold dear, in the names of your 7 lovely kids, they would love to grow up with a healthy and happy father in the future. You are a great chess player, you know when it's time to step away from the chess board and evaluate the game from an outside perspective, this is that time, before it gets too late... a time to become the real you again... this isn't you.
