Renowned talent manager Tunji Balogun, popularly known as Teebillz, has urged music icon 2Baba to seek therapy and professional support. This heartfelt counsel comes as the acclaimed singer navigates a reportedly troubled period in his marriage.
Teebillz shared that his advice stems from a deeply personal encounter. He recounted a time he returned to Nigeria for his father’s birthday after a long absence. During that visit, 2Baba implored him to extend his stay in the country.
A Bond Forged in Vulnerability
Teebillz explained how 2Baba went as far as changing his flight ticket. The music star then embraced him tightly, openly admitting his profound loneliness. 2Baba confessed he had felt completely isolated, with no one to share his thoughts with.
This raw, vulnerable moment, Teebillz stated, significantly strengthened the bond between them. He described it as a turning point in their friendship.
Teebillz’s Plea for Professional Help
While acknowledging his own personal battles, Teebillz emphasized that this is a crucial time for 2Baba to consult a professional. He issued a stern warning. Many legendary entertainers, he noted, suffered immensely because they suppressed their worries. They failed to seek help early enough, leading to severe consequences.
Teebillz also offered general relationship advice. He suggested that it is often better to stand alone. This is preferable to remaining with someone who only accepts a partner’s best qualities. Or, he added, someone who consistently brings out their lowest side.
He concluded his message by reaffirming his enduring love and unwavering support for 2Baba.
Excerpt from Teebillz’s Message
Teebillz initially shared his thoughts in a candid message. He recalled his first return to Nigeria in a long time for his father’s birthday. “You begged me to stay longer,” he wrote, “You paid for my ticket change, hugged me, and cried on my shoulder.”
He quoted 2Baba saying, “Billy, I’ve had no one to talk to since you left.” Teebillz added that 2Baba’s honesty in that moment solidified his love for him as a big brother. He clarified that he wasn’t there to judge, acknowledging his own personal struggles.
“God aligned our paths for a reason,” Teebillz wrote. “We’ve shared things most men will never speak about. Now it’s time to get help. Therapy… even clinical support if needed.” He stressed that there is no shame in prioritizing one’s well-being.
He cited examples of musical legends like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Prince, and Majek Fashek. These figures, he noted, “suffered when they didn’t face their demons.”
Teebillz also revealed his consistent, private support for 2Baba. He urged the singer to work on himself, just as he is. “For you and for your beautiful children,” he penned, “They need their father alive and whole.”
He concluded with a powerful message of love and solidarity. “I love you, A Guy. You’re not alone,” he assured. He encouraged both of them to “grow into better men and better fathers together.” Reaffirming his earlier relationship wisdom, he stated, “Honestly… it’s better to stand alone than be with a woman who only loves your best side or feeds your worst. I love you, King Two. @official2baba.”
