2Face Idibia: African Superstar

Once upon a time, a Nigerian music group by name Plantashun Boyz existed. The trio consisted of Innocent Idibia (2Face), Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo, also known as Blackface and Chibuzor Orji (Faze).
The group triggered a music movement that went on to prove inspirational to thousands of other young hopefuls. They inspired many. Plantashun Boyz enjoyed relative success until the group’s members started having thoughts of going their separate ways. 2Face was first to leave the group, in pursuit of what he felt was a dream that needed to be chased single handedly. His exit came as a huge shock to the other two, as they struggled with the daily thought of not having one of their strongest pillars intact. He insisted going solo was a good decision, and that they were better off pursuing individual projects than stay together as a three-piece unit.

In no time 2Face blew up, achieving local and international success with the hit song African Queen. The Plantashun Boyz tag was no more relevant, as he quickly worked his way up to be recognised as a stand-alone act.
