GLiDE February 12, 2025

N igerian music legend, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has sparked widespread reactions after publicly confirming his romantic relationship with Edo State lawmaker, Hon. Natasha Osawaru.

The revelation follows his recent separation from his wife, Annie Idibia, a highly publicized split that has fueled speculation and controversy. However, in a bold move, 2Baba has now set the record straight, affirming his affection for Osawaru while vehemently denying any wrongdoing on her part.

Rumors and Confirmation

Speculation surrounding the nature of their relationship intensified after 2Baba was spotted at the Edo State House of Assembly, followed by a viral video showing the pair enjoying time together at a Lagos nightclub. The clips quickly fueled rumors that Osawaru played a role in the singer’s marital troubles.

Addressing the swirling controversy, 2Baba took to Instagram on Tuesday with a video message aimed at silencing false narratives.

Accompanied by the caption, “To Whom It May kwansighn. #I don yarn my truth. Feel free to continue alleging. We shall all be alright,” the singer dismissed claims that his new relationship began before his marriage ended.

“Allegedly, I have been seeing so many things, so many people coming up with their own false narratives and malicious nonsense after I posted that stuff that I posted,” he said in the video.

“Yes, I posted what I posted. Hon. Natasha has been dragged, she has been called all sorts of names, she has been labeled as a homebreaker. But let me be clear—she is a young, brilliant, and amazing woman, and she had nothing to do with what happened between Annie and me in our marriage.”

A New Chapter for 2Baba?

Ending all doubt, the "African Queen" crooner did not just confirm his relationship with Osawaru but also hinted at taking things to the next level.

“Yes, I love her. She is amazing, she is cool, and I want to marry her,” he declared.

His statement has set social media on fire, with mixed reactions from fans and industry observers. While some commended him for being open about his new love interest, others expressed disappointment over the collapse of his long-standing marriage with Annie, with whom he shares children.

Reactions from the Public

The revelation has further divided public opinion, with supporters of Annie Idibia voicing their discontent. Many social media users accused 2Baba of moving on too quickly, while others argued that he was entitled to find happiness after a turbulent marriage.

Meanwhile, Hon. Natasha Osawaru, who has remained largely silent amid the controversy, is yet to make an official statement regarding the relationship.

As the saga unfolds, many are left wondering what’s next for the legendary musician and whether wedding bells could indeed be in the near future.
