Nigerian singer, Tobechukwu Victor Okoh, popularly known as Peruzzi, has revealed that legendary musician, Innocent Ujah Idibia, aka 2Baba, is his mentor.
Emphasizing on the ‘African Queen’ crooner’s influence on his talent, Peruzzi admitted to copying his lyrics and musical style “a lot.”
Peruzzi spoke in a recent episode of the Zero Conditions podcast on Pop Central.
He said, “2Baba is my daddy [mentor]. I copy from him a lot. If you listened to ‘Amaka’, you’d notice I copied his verse I just changed some things on it.
“Till now, I still copy from him. I have to say the truth.”
Peruzzi also stated during the show that he is a “special” artist because he is an all-rounder.
“I can do everything when it comes to music. You’ve met every artist, they know only some things, they don’t know everything. That’s why I am special,” he said.
