In the last decade, the Nigerian music industry has witnessed quite a number of break-ups from KC Presh to Mo’hits, Choc Boys and more. 

With the release of their 5th studio album, T.W.O Plus, celebrity couple and musicians, Tunde and Wunmi Obe have explained why it’s not possible for them to break up or part ways.

According to them, ‘Most of the break up tales often start as publicity stunts, then get real at some point. Most of what other acts do is just publicity, and we come from a school of hard-knock, we believe in real talent, and we don’t believe in using negativity to sell positivity,’ they said. 

‘We won’t break up, because we’ve set that standard, Nigeria doesn’t have a lot of role models, we need more. So we’ll always be together. We can’t even attempt it for publicity stunts because the devil is strong and can easily tap into what you prophesy with your mouth and it goes even deeper because we have teenage kids, what example would we be laying for them.’ 

Speaking on what has kept them going over the years, they said: ‘our upbringing in music is our staying power. 

In the 80s we started as a band that played all kinds of music, we worked with real musicians, if you were not a real musician you won’t stand the test of time! 

‘Secondly, we never got caught up in the whole star and celebrity hype, we didn’t cut corners with the craft and art, we didn’t get carried away by the glamour of showbiz and it has really helped us. 

Don’t ever believe the hype and you need to be humble, times are changing and you need to keep changing with the times.’...
