In the statement posted across his social media platforms, the musician, best known for the timeless hit ‘African Queen’, described his journey as “nothing short of amazing”, stressing that he does not take the incredible feat for granted.

The award-winning singer framed the moment as one of profound thanksgiving to God, his family, and the legion of fans who have stood by him through every high and low.

“Today, I give thanks to Almighty God for the gift of life and the grace to celebrate my golden jubilee. Fifty years on earth and also a historic milestone of 25 years in the music industry. Many who started this path with me are no longer here, and I honor their memories as I celebrate this moment. I stand today as 2Baba because of the love, prayers, and support of so many,” the statement reads.
