Legendary Nigerian singer, 2Baba, has opened up about how he deals with online trolls and social media backlash.
Speaking in a recent interview on Binging With Game Changers, the African Queen crooner admitted that while negative comments can hurt, he doesn’t let them define who he is.
He emphasized that staying true to himself and focusing on the bigger picture helps him navigate the noise of social media.
He said,
“For me, I just knew that I had to stand up to my responsibility. Sometimes, things happen, and people talk all kinds of jokes and malicious comments. It hurts. It gets to you sometimes,” he said.
“But know that this is the way of the world, you just have to be able to try and grow some thick skin and say ‘You know what, I am still going to keep my head high because I know that where I am going is bigger and better than all this stuff’.
“And I know that does not define me. It does not make me a monster. Within you, you have to cheer yourself up. Sometimes you watch a comedy show. Sometimes, you laugh at joke made about you. Always try to turn every situation into positive.
“For me, I know that the moment I start worrying too much, it becomes more problem. I know that there is a solution to everything that comes up.”
