The event that turned my life around – 2face Idibia

In a recent interview, highly revered Nigerian music star, 2face Idibia, revealed the reason artistes fail and also highlighted an event that turned his life around. In an industry where an artiste’s success is not usually sustained, the African Queen sensation said artistes should never assume they have arrived.

“I think it’s the I don arrive syndrome that affects artistes who fall along the way. That thing is a major factor. Most times if you check it, it is that syndrome of I have arrived and we have to keep doing it this way, forgetting that you have to keep working on yourself.”

When asked what he doesn’t like about being a star, he had this to say: “ I don’t like the fact that when you enter the public space, you have lost your privacy”. Recalling the event that changed his life, he said it will be the first time he met a man called Edi Lawani.

“I think one of those events will be the first time I met a man like Edi Lawani.We were nobodies then. He just welcomed us like : Guys, how far na, na dis kind thing una dey do? And from there he started recommending us to different people.”

Edi Lawani is a popular events manager and showbiz promoter.
