Nigerian music veteran 2Baba has announced a new album titled Oldest Young Man, sending fans into a wave of speculation over the meaning behind the announcement.
The singer revealed the project on social media with a short but reflective message, writing that he had “lived it” and “seen it” before teasing the arrival of the new body of work.
What particularly caught fans’ attention was his decision to accompany the announcement with Rainbow, his 2012 hit song.
The choice immediately sparked discussions among fans, with some revisiting the emotional themes associated with the song and wondering whether its inclusion was intentional.
Some fans linked the song to 2Baba’s past relationship with actress Annie Idibia, with several commenters tagging her under the announcement and suggesting that the song brought back memories of their time together.
Others simply interpreted the choice as a nostalgic reminder of one of the singer’s most memorable records and a reflection of his long career in the Nigerian music industry.
2Baba, however, has not confirmed that Rainbow was selected because of Annie or because of any current relationship situation. The singer has also not revealed the album’s official release date.
The announcement comes as public interest continues to surround 2Baba’s personal life, particularly following recent discussions about his marriage and reports of tensions involving his wife, Natasha Osawaru.
For now, fans are left with the intriguing album title, a nostalgic song choice and plenty of theories as they wait to hear what 2Baba has prepared for Oldest Young Man.
