Tuface Idibia says his saddest moment was during the baby mama saga. "Some people were using it against me"

Speaking with Sunnewsonline , Nigerian music legend Tuface Idibia has revealed the key factors to being a successful musician, the saddest and happiest moments of his career, Plantashun Boiz and future plans. "My saddest moment was when they were writing things about me some years ago while I was celebrating the kids coming. Some people were using it against me, and saying some hurtful things to put me down. Another sad moment was when I lost my dad. All of a sudden I realised that this man who used to carry us on his shoulders and take us out for shopping and all that was going to die. Although, I tried all I could but I couldn’t help him, and he died. I cried like a baby," Just like he has had his sad moments, the 'African Queen' crooner and father of six has also had his happiest moments. . . "There are so many first moments I could describe as my happiest. For me, it has been a string of firsts, and I am glad that I am a pioneer. Officially, I was the first artiste to be endorsed by a very big company and that was a very happy moment for me. I was the first to be declared by a big record label as the first artiste to sell above a million copies.
I was the first to be on the popular Billboard charts. I was also the first Nigerian artiste to have his music played on MTV Base Africa. In fact, the list is endless; and my kids are huge sources of inspiration for me, even though, when they were coming and I was rejoicing that I was going to be a dad, some people were complaining; thanks to their mums and my wife.
" He identified humility, respect for people, talent and belief in oneself as key factors to being a successful musician. "The number one factor to success is that you have to be ready mentally, physically, spiritually and every other ‘ally’. You have to be ready to face challenges. Number two is respect.
You must respect people because people are the backbones of your success and failure. Respect your fans and the people that contributed in one way or the other to your career, because there is no artiste that can come out"
