The mother of Nigerian music legend, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba or 2face, has made an emotional plea to Edo State lawmaker, Natasha Osawaru, urging her to end her alleged romantic involvement with the singer.
In a viral video that surfaced online on Thursday evening, Mrs. Rose Idibia expressed deep concern over her son’s well-being, emphasizing that he is currently not in the right frame of mind due to his ongoing divorce proceedings with his estranged wife, Annie Idibia.
A Mother’s Heartfelt Plea
With an air of urgency, Mrs. Idibia directly addressed Osawaru, pleading with her to “free” her son from any emotional entanglement. In the video, she stated:
“Good evening, Nigerians. My name is Mrs. Rose Idibia, the mother of 2face. This message is for Miss Natasha Osawaru of Edo State. I’m calling on all mothers in Nigeria to help me beg her to free my son.
My son is going through a divorce process, and he is clearly not in his right senses now. I know my son well. This is not him. Please, Natasha, the beads you put on his hand and neck, remove them and free him.”
Her appeal has since sparked mixed reactions across social media, with fans and critics weighing in on the unfolding drama.
2Baba’s Divorce: A Brief Recap
Earlier in January 2025, 2Baba publicly announced his separation from his wife of over a decade, Annie Idibia. The couple, known for their tumultuous relationship, has faced numerous challenges over the years, including allegations of infidelity and public outbursts. While details of their divorce proceedings remain private, it is clear that the separation has deeply affected the African Queen crooner.
Speculations and the Natasha Osawaru Connection
Rumors of a romantic relationship between 2Baba and Natasha Osawaru gained momentum after the duo was spotted together at the Edo State Assembly. Their public appearances did not stop there, as they were later seen leaving a popular Lagos nightclub together, further fueling speculation about their closeness.
Though neither 2Baba nor Osawaru has publicly confirmed their relationship, the timing of their interactions—amid his divorce—has left fans questioning the nature of their connection.
Public Reactions: A Divided Audience
Following Mrs. Idibia’s public plea, social media platforms erupted with a mix of sympathy, criticism, and skepticism. Some fans expressed concern for 2Baba’s mental and emotional well-being, while others accused his mother of overstepping her boundaries in his personal life.
One Twitter user wrote:
“I feel for 2Baba’s mom. A mother will always want the best for her son. But at the same time, he is a grown man and should make his own choices.”
Another countered:
“Why are people acting like 2Baba is a child? He knows what he is doing. Maybe he just wants to move on with his life.”
What’s Next for 2Baba?
As the dust settles on this unfolding drama, the big question remains: How will 2Baba respond? Will he clarify his relationship with Natasha Osawaru, or will he choose to focus solely on his music and personal growth amid his divorce?
For now, fans can only watch and wait as the legendary musician navigates this emotional period in his life.
