Nigerian music star Tuface Innocent Idibia has disclosed the real reason
behind the rumours making round that he was shunned by Chelsea midfielder John
Mikel Obi in London.
It had earlier been reported that Tuface recently
saw Mikel in a London nightclub and when he proceeded to exchange pleasantries
with him, the Chelsea midfield maestro handed him a shocking cold
treatment.
Apparently angered by Mikel’s arrogant attitude, Tuface
headed to the studio and put his grievance on wax recording ‘only me’(second
singles from his unstoppable album).The story was further fuelled by the lyrics
of the song; even though Tuface did not mention Mikel’s name.Commenting on the controversial song,Tuface feels
the rumour emanated as a result of Mikel’s failure to honour one of Nigeria’s
friendly games. “Mikel and I are good friends,” he said. “I don’t have
any problem with him and it’s not true that he shunned me in London. Mikel is a
nice guy and a great footballer I admire and respect a lot.
“What I think that happened was that there was a
match involving Nigeria and another country I can’t remember the match.
Mikel was unable to honour that match, so when my album was released within that
period people started insinuating that I was criticising Mikel for not coming
for the match.
“The only time I met Mikel, I was in the company
of P-Square. I was surprised when I heard somebody screaming 2Baba
and when I turned my back to respond to the call, I was surprised it was Mikel
himself who was hailing me and we embraced each other and chatted for some time
before heading for our respective destinations. That was the story of how the
rumour started. It’s part of the price you pay for stardom’’.
