Nigerian music star Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba or Tuface, has confirmed his relationship with Natasha Osawaru, the Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, following his announcement of a breakup with his wife, Annie Macaulay.
Rumours about their relationship have been circulating, and 2Baba’s appearance at the Edo State House of Assembly during a plenary session on Monday sparked further speculation among social media users, with some interpreting his presence as confirmation of their romance.
In an effort to address the swirling rumours, the renowned singer shared a video post on his Instagram account early Wednesday morning, saying: “Yes, I love her. I want to marry her.”
He added: “I said what I said. All of us will be alright… Honourable Natasha, I see she has been dragged, she has been called all sorts of names. She has been labelled as a home breaker. She is a young, brilliant and amazing woman.”
The singer also said that his new love is not responsible for the marital tension between him and his wife, Annie.
“She has nothing to do with what’s happening between me and Annie. But I see everybody trying to allegedly want to rope her into everything. Yes, I love her. She is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her,” 2Baba said.
This development comes after 2Baba made headlines in January when he revealed that he and his wife, Annie, had been separated for some time and had filed for divorce.
He had said: “Hello to my beautiful people of all federations. Well, this thing I have to say is short but also long. Annie Macaulay and I have been separated for a while and have filed for divorce.
“I would grant a press release soon to say my story—not because it is anyone’s right to know about my personal life, but because I love my people, and I need them to know my innocence or offence. Stay blessed, my people. I love you all.”
