In an interview on sports radio 88.9 Brilla FM, 2face Idibia, has debunked claims that he has any beef with super Eagles’ midfielder, John Obi Mikel. It was alleged that his hit track “Only Me” was directed at the Chelsea FC footballer. In his words:
”I met John Obi Mikel for the first time at the MOBO awards two years before I released the song ‘Only me’, I won an award on the night, Mikel congratulated me and alongside P Square, D’Banj and Don Jazzy we all went to hang out together”.
He also said:
“At the time I did the song, Mikel had issues with his inability to show up for certain Super Eagles games, then some very good rumour monger picked a line from my song as regards patriotism towards representing the National football team and ran with the story of a rift between us, I spoke with Mikel on the phone and we had a good laugh about it”.
