It is being organized by Yankee Entertainment and promises to be a gathering of top names from the entertainment industry, politics, business, and his fanbase.

Hits like “African Queen,” “Only Me,” “For Instance,” and “One Love” cemented his status as a global Afrobeats pioneer, blending love ballads with socially conscious messages.

“From local stages in Enugu to global platforms, 2Baba’s story remains a source of inspiration to many African artistes,” said Mallam Yankee of Yankee Entertainment during a press conference.

The celebration also coincides with the birthday of his wife, Natasha, adding a deeper personal significance to the occasion. Known for his humility and love for family, 2Baba has often used his platform to advocate for good governance, youth empowerment, and social unity.

Despite personal challenges over the years, he remains one of Africa’s most respected music icons, consistently promoting values, peace, and cultural pride through his lyrics.
