"2FACE DID NOT IMPREGNATE ANYBODY, ITS ALL FALSE"- SAYS 2FACE'S MANAGEMENT VIA PRESS STATEMENT

2Face & wife, Annie
With regards to the recent rumors in circulation about Nigerian Artiste, 2Face impregnating a young female banker, a press statement has just been sent to us from 2Face's Management , stating that it is NOT TRUE.
Do read the statement below:  

[PRESS STATEMENT] 
2FACE PREGNANCY RUMORS COMPLETELY UNFOUNDED
A few days ago, a rumor surfaced about 2face Idibia allegedly getting a young woman pregnant and various versions of the story have emerged since then.
2face would like to categorically state that these stories are completely false and baseless.
The press has published this story in many versions without confirming the authenticity of the allegations. He would like to make it very clear: THERE IS NO TRUTH TO THIS STORY

He would also like to request that the media houses that have already published this story issue retractions without any delay. 2face does not have anything to hide and if the story were true, he would admit it and not try to lie to the public by denying it.

When striving to maintain journalistic integrity, it is important for the press to make sure that they have irrefutable evidence before publishing potentially harmful news such as this. In this case, there has been no confirmation of the authenticity of the rumor.
We do not know what the true motives are behind the peddling of such a vicious rumor, but we would like to make sure that everyone knows the truth about it.
