How resemblance to 2face affected my career – Joe El
Singer Joe El Amadi shares how his resemblance to 2Baba impacted his career, facing setbacks and blocked opportunities in the music industry.
Nigerian singer Joe El Amadi recently opened up about the challenges he’s faced due to his uncanny resemblance to superstar 2Baba. Joe El shared that constant comparisons have stunted his career, with some industry insiders actively blocking him from platforms simply because he "looks like 2Baba."
He recounted experiences where radio presenters and event organizers denied him opportunities, claiming he was “mimicking 2Face.” Joe El revealed that even at Festac Carnival in 2013, he was barred from performing due to the resemblance. Despite these setbacks, collaborating with 2Baba on “Hold On” in 2015 helped change public perception, allowing him to be seen as an artist in his own right.
