2face, Sound Sultan are comedians, says Darey

Multi award winning singer and songwriter, Dare Art Alade, has described 2face Idibia and Sound Sultan as stand-up comedians.

Darey, as the he is fondly called, made this known as he recounted an experience with the duo and ace comedian Alibaba, way back in 2001.

The artiste took to his social media account to share a picture from an edition of Alibaba’s Tom Dick and Ali.

“Today is #WCW but for those of us who don’t have a woman crush today, we’ll do #WBW (Way Back When)… That’s Chordwebs up top (a foremost Nigerian acapella group I was a member of with me on the extreme right) on an edition of Ali Baba’s #TomDickandAli,” he wrote.

He went on to speak on the relationship the artistes have built among themselves over the years, describing Alibaba as “a true big brother”.

“Now the #WBW story I want to share today is of the Chordwebs, @2Faceidibia1 and @soundsultan when we had a show at the #UniversityOfJos in 2001 or so. We traveled by road and had the most amazing time.

“2face cracked us up most of the time with his signature whistling and jokes (bet you didn’t know he’s also a standup comedian), we ate all sorts on the way and @soundsultan was such a fool too!

“Who remembers his ‘I been get date with Kate for golden gate, I go pick her for her papa house around 8, them say make I wait, near their gate…’ Joke?

“He used to do standup comedy and music wasn’t his thing so prominently as it is now. And as for @alibabagcfr what is there to say about him and how he’s supported everyone in the entertainment world that hasn’t been said already? A true big brother in the game.”

He further described them as his brothers for real, adding that they are “down to earth, true, humble and always supportive.”
