Nigerian veteran singer, Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia, and his baby mama, Pero Adeniyi, on Tuesday celebrated their daughter, Ehikòwoichó, as the latter turned 16.

Sharing pictures of the celebrant on his Instagram page, 2Baba expressed how rapidly his “little princess” blossomed into an “African Queen.”

He wrote, “Feels like I just blinked and boom my little princess has grown into a very bright and beautiful young African Queen. Massive birthday blessings to you.

“Ehikòwoichó (Gift from God/ God’s gift), I pray for continuous love, light guidance and wisdom for you, my beloved daughter.”

On her Instagram page, the celebrant’s mother also wrote a lengthy epistle as she hailed her daughter and also prayed for her.

Pero wrote, “Ehikowoicho Morolayo Oluwashemilogo, sixteen years ago you arrived on this planet, and our lives have never been the same. Here are my thoughts for you, today, as you celebrate your Sweet 16.

“I am so proud of you. I love the woman you are on your way to becoming. I love your strength, your fortitude, your strong sense of right from wrong, and your belief in fairness and order. I love your fantastic humour as well as your sense of self.
