2Baba – Celebrate

Celebrate is a single from 2Baba — born Innocent Ujah Idibia in Jos, Plateau State — one of the most influential figures in the history of Nigerian popular music. His 2004 debut album Face 2 Face and its lead single African Queen are considered foundational to the modern Afrobeats movement, and in 2025 Billboard ranked African Queen among the most significant Nigerian songs of all time. 2Baba won the MTV Europe Music Award for Best African Act in 2005 and has remained active and relevant across three decades, which is a rare achievement in any music industry.

Celebrate arrives during a significant personal chapter for 2Baba — 2025 saw the finalisation of his divorce from Annie Macaulay after a marriage that began in 2012, and his subsequent marriage to Natasha Osawaru the same year. A song titled Celebrate from an artist at that point in his life carries an obvious resonance — new beginnings, gratitude for where he has landed, and the perspective that comes from three decades in an industry that has changed dramatically since he started.

Rating: 8/10.
