A viral report recently claimed that veteran Nigerian singer Tuface Idibia had been admitted into a rehabilitation centre, sparking widespread speculation across social media platforms.
However, findings from verified sources have dismissed the claim. As of Friday, June 19, 2026, the singer was confirmed to be at his residence and not undergoing any form of rehab treatment.
A close associate revealed that when the rumour reached Tuface, he chose not to publicly address it. According to the source, the singer explained that he has stepped away from reacting to online stories about his personal life and prefers to keep such matters private.
He was also quoted as saying he is no longer interested in correcting every false narrative circulating about him online, noting that people are free to believe whatever they choose.
The source further confirmed that Tuface recently made a public appearance at King Tom Ateke’s birthday celebration, an event that contradicts claims suggesting he was out of public view or in treatment.
With these confirmations, the rehab story has been described as unfounded, as evidence shows the singer has remained active and at home during the period in question.
The incident once again highlights how quickly unverified information spreads online, often gaining traction before being fact-checked or clarified.
