Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face, has revealed that his first son, Nino, has no interest in pursuing a career in music. Despite Nino’s talent as a saxophonist, his ambition is to become a medical doctor. This was disclosed by 2Face during an event in Abuja, where he celebrated his 25 years in the music industry.

During the event, 2Face brought Nino on stage, saying, “Making some noise for my son Nino,” and added, “He said he doesn’t want to be a singer. He wants to be a doctor,” amid cheers from the crowd. Nino Idibia, born on January 15, 2006, to 2Face and his former partner Sumbo Adeoye, is a saxophonist, model, and social media influencer.

In the Nigerian music industry, it is common for children to follow in their parents’ footsteps. For instance, Wizkid’s first son, Boluwatife Balogun, recently launched his music career at the age of 14 with his debut EP ‘Champions’ Arrival’ under the stage name Champz. However, Nino’s decision to pursue a different path highlights the diversity of career choices among young people in the industry.

2Face’s revelation about his son’s career aspirations has sparked interest in the media, with many fans and followers taking to social media to express their support for Nino’s decision. As a renowned musician, 2Face’s influence extends beyond his music, and his family’s life often makes headlines. Nino’s choice to become a medical doctor reflects the growing trend of young people exploring various career options beyond the entertainment industry.

The music industry in Nigeria has experienced significant growth over the years, with many artists achieving international recognition. As the industry continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how the next generation of musicians and professionals, including Nino, contribute to its development. For now, 2Face’s celebration of his 25 years in the music industry serves as a reminder of his enduring legacy and the impact he has had on the Nigerian music scene.
