Nigerian music legend Innocent “2Baba” Idibia has taken a bold step in his love life, proposing to Edo State lawmaker Honourable Natasha Osawaru just weeks after confirming his separation from longtime partner, Annie Idibia. The unexpected engagement, which has sent shockwaves through social media, was captured in a viral video showing the “African Queen” hitmaker going down on one knee in front of close friends and associates.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Natasha initially covered her face before responding with an emphatic “yes,” a moment that prompted loud cheers from those present. In a celebratory mood, 2Baba, 49, humorously declared, “The ayes have it,” signaling that he had secured the commitment of the 31-year-old politician.
The engagement comes shortly after 2Baba openly expressed his admiration for Natasha, describing her as “young, brilliant, and amazing.” The singer made it clear that despite ongoing speculations, Natasha played no role in the breakdown of his marriage to Annie. In a video that surfaced online, he addressed his critics directly, shutting down claims that Natasha was a homewrecker.
“Everybody is going to be alright, and everyone is fine. There is no fight or quarrel. I said what I said. Honourable Natasha has been called names and labeled a home breaker, but she had nothing to do with what’s happening in my marriage to Annie. I see people trying to rope her into everything, but I love her. She’s amazing and cool, and I want to marry her,” 2Baba stated.
His comments have sparked widespread debates, with many wondering about the timeline of events leading to his newfound love. The celebrated musician, who has long been in the public eye for his personal life as much as his career, is no stranger to controversy. With seven children from three different women—Sunmbo Adeoye, Pero Adeniyi, and estranged wife Annie Idibia—his relationships have often been scrutinized. However, his engagement to Natasha signals a new chapter, one that is already stirring mixed reactions across the country.
While some fans and supporters have congratulated the couple, others have questioned the speed at which 2Baba moved on from his previous marriage. Social media is divided, with many speculating on how Annie Idibia is coping with the development.
As the engagement continues to dominate headlines, one thing is clear: 2Baba and Natasha Osawaru have made their decision, and they are moving forward regardless of public opinion. Whether this new union will withstand the test of time remains to be seen, but for now, the music legend and the young politician are embracing their love story with confidence.
