Innocent Idibia, better known by his stage name 2Baba, is back in the news after he hinted at a romantic relationship with Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru.
This came soon after he split from his wife Annie Idibia, and 2Baba said he intended to pursue a relationship with Osawaru.
His unexpected appearance at the Edo State House of Assembly during plenary on Monday heightened rumors, particularly after a video of them at a nightclub in Lagos also went viral.
Taking to Instagram in a video post captioned “To Whom It May kwansighn. #I don yarn my truth. Feel free to continue alleging. We shall all be alright,” 2Baba addressed the swirling rumours, denying that Osawaru played any role in his split with Annie.
He said, “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. Yes, I posted what I posted.
“Hon. Natasha has been dragged, she has been called all sorts of names, she has been labelled as a home breaker.
“She is a young brilliant amazing woman and she had nothing to do with what is happening between me and Annie in our marriage.”
He continued, “Yes I love her, she is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her.”
Natasha’s name has become the top-trending topic on X by Wednesday morning as social media exploded with reactions.
