The king of African pop, 2face Idibia, is not one to mess with.

The multi-award-winning singer has decided to take on soft-sell magazine, Icon, for publishing in March that he impregnated a banker.

His legal team, Media/Entertainment Law Firm of L & A- Legal Consultants, has filed libel proceedings at the Ikeja High Court, asking the court to award their client the sum of N100m in damages for the libelous publication posted on the magazine’s online and print platforms.

It was alleged that 2baba had gotten a lady banker pregnant, after his marriage to Annie. The supposed “top banker” was said to be 2face‘s account officer at a new-generation bank and was said to have had the intention of keeping the baby.

2face denied the report, and his wife took to social media to state that such tale was just to ruin them.

As expected, such tale caused ripples between 2face and his wife, in addition to the loss of a very lucrative deal as a result of that publication.

However, reports have it that the soft-sell magazine has approached 2face‘s team for an out-of-court settlement.
