The drama surrounding Nigerian music icon 2Baba’s marriage shows no signs of dying down anytime soon. This week, the saga continued when the singer introduced his new love interest, Natasha Osawaru, just 16 days after confirming his separation from his wife, Annie Idibia.
Many have accused 2Baba of moving on too quickly, but he has strongly defended Natasha, claiming that she is not involved in his divorce. In an Instagram video, 2Baba praised Natasha as a “young, brilliant, and amazing woman” and expressed his desire to marry her. He also rejected accusations that the 29-year-old Edo lawmaker was a home-wrecker.
Natasha Osawaru, the Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, represents the Egor Constituency and is an advocate for youth empowerment, education, and women’s rights. The news has sparked mixed reactions from fans and followers. Some congratulated 2Baba on his new relationship, while others criticized him for moving on too quickly.
Controversial actress Nwachukwu Ifeoma Esther publicly congratulated 2Baba, claiming that Annie “deserved” the collapse of her marriage. Meanwhile, 2Baba’s mother, Mrs. Idibia, voiced her concern, saying her son was “not in his right senses.” In a video shared by 2Baba’s younger brother, Charles Idibia, Mrs. Idibia said, “My son is going through a divorce process, and he’s clearly not in his right senses right now. I know my son; this is not him.”
2Baba confirmed his separation from Annie on January 27 and later revealed his plans to marry Natasha. He also made a brief appearance at the Edo State House of Assembly, where Natasha serves.
The music icon has publicly shown his commitment to Natasha, insisting she played no part in his marital issues. In a viral video shared this week, 2Baba proposed to Natasha in front of friends and well-wishers, showering her with money and a warm embrace before slipping a ring on her finger. Natasha later posted a picture of herself and 2Baba on Instagram, fueling further speculation on social media.
However, questions remain: Why did 2Baba move on so quickly? Is he desperately seeking happiness after years of marital struggles, or is he truly seeking a woman of substance to settle down with? And could he be seen as a gold-digger, given his immense success as one of Nigeria’s top musicians? The unfolding drama leaves many wondering what the future holds.
