I never snubbed 2Baba, says ex-Nigeria skipper Mikel Obi

Mikel Obi, the former Super Eagles captain, has finally addressed the rumour that he snubbed 2Baba, the Afrobeats legend, at a nightclub in London, UK, in 2006.

Obi and 2Baba are among the biggest names in the country’s entertainment space.

Following the release of ‘Only Me’ in 2010, there were rumours that some lyrics in the hit song were aimed as a diss at the former Chelsea FC midfielder.

“No, I never did. I’m a big fan of his. So I wouldn’t do such a thing. Have a lovely day,” Mikel replied the fan’s enquiry about the rumours.
