Innocent Idibia popularly known as Tuface Idibia in an 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, sometimes his work entails a lot of
travelling and as such he does not see his kids as often as he wants to
and 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."
A
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."
So, why Tuface/2Face?
According
to the artistes, 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 as touching money/value, he
says, "I never gather, but I dey try."
Tuface has also attributed his journey so far to hard work, his fans and the grace of God.
