Innocent Ujah Idibia, widely known as 2Baba, has dismissed speculation about a Plantashun Boiz reunion ahead of his 25th anniversary in music. During a radio interview with Steve Onu (Yaw), he stated clearly, "I'm not interested." The group, formed in the early 2000s, featured 2Baba, Blackface, and Faze, and was instrumental in shaping Nigeria's contemporary R&B and pop sound. Their harmonies and hits like "Kay-Kay" and "No Pains, No Gains" earned them a devoted fan base before their eventual split. Over the years, fans have campaigned for a reunion, especially around milestone events. Blackface and Faze performed together in 2022 without 2Baba, reigniting reunion rumors. 2Baba, however, emphasized his current focus is on his solo career and upcoming 25th-anniversary celebrations. He did not elaborate on past tensions within the group but made his position unmistakably clear.
2Baba saying "I'm not interested" settles a years-long fan fantasy, but it also underscores how individual paths have diverged since the Plantashun Boiz era. Blackface and Faze moving forward without him in 2022 was already a signal, not a surprise. For Nigerians nostalgic for early 2000s music, this isn't the end of an era—it's confirmation that it ended long ago.
