The book, edited by the musician’s former publicist, Ayeni Adekunle, includes contributions from his mom, his wife and closest friends ::: ‘A Very Good Bad Guy: The Story Of Innocent 2Face Idibia’ is first of its kind for a Nigerian pop artiste and indeed, for a contemporary Nigerian musician. Speaking about A Very Good Bad Guy, editor of the book, Ayeni Adekunle commented: “Apart from being a fantastic musician and a wonderful person, 2Face is also a personal friend and source of inspiration; so few things give me as much joy as being able to give this gentleman some of the recognition he deserves on the occasion of his 40th birthday. These are important projects Nigeria must do for our cultural posterity. We must tell our stories and document our history.” Also speaking about the book, 2Face himself said: “It’s a really good feeling knowing that all these years that I’ve been surviving in this industry, someone has been taking note you know…compiling my story so that on an occasion like this, they will release it for the world to see. I’m really feeling the love but importantly I hope those coming behind will read and learn from my story".
