In a cool wave of musical brotherhood, singer and producer Vicky Jay has sent out warm energy to Afrobeat legend 2Baba, releasing a fresh audio track titled “Letter to 2Baba.” The industry has been buzzing for weeks over 2Baba’s separation from his longtime partner Annie, and the spotlight has since shifted to his new relationship with Natasha, which has stirred plenty of conversation across social platforms.

In the mellow but message-heavy tune, Vicky Jay encourages the Afrobeat king to “stay strong,” reflect, and readjust where needed as he navigates this new phase of life.
