According to blogger Ladun Liadi, the cancer is said to be in its early stages and the singer’s 67-year-old father is reportedly due to begin chemotherapy soon.

2face allegedly divulged the news at the  Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy (CECP) cancer charity event which held on June 8.

Ladun Liadi’s blog reported it thus:

Tuface’s dad has been diagnosed of prostate cancer, but the good news is that it was detected at its mildest state.

Tuface announced this on the 8^th of June, 2014 at the CECP Cancer Charity event which held at the Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos.
