Dayo ‘D1’ Adeneye, a music executive, recounted an incident on comedian Teju Babyface’s ‘Deep Dive’ podcast where he mentioned that during a concert in Ivory Coast, four women fainted while ace musician 2Baba, formerly known as 2Face, was performing on stage.
The music executive, formerly the director of 2Baba’s previous label Kennis Music, mentioned that during the label’s peak, it had more than 50 artists under its management.
“At the height of Kennis Music, we had over 50 artists on the label. Lagbaja was signed to us. We had everybody, from gospel to hip-hop to fuji,” he said.
“We’ve been at a couple of shows where I’ve seen girls faint when 2Face was performing. I went on a tour in Ivory Coast, and brought a girl on stage and she hugged 2Face and passed out. During that concert, four girls fainted.
“These were people who didn’t speak English but they knew the lyrics of all his songs word-for-word. This was a francophone country and four girls fainted. We thought it was a joke but an ambulance had to carry them. They fainted just because they were in the presence of 2Face.”
