Nigerian music legend 2Baba has declared his love for Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru, sparking controversy after his split from Annie Idibia. His surprise visit to the Edo State House of Assembly and public statement about wanting to marry Osawaru have fueled debates on social media and in political circles.
Nigerian music icon Innocent "2Baba" Idibia has sparked controversy after publicly declaring his love for Natasha Osawaru, a rising political star in Edo State. The revelation comes in the wake of his widely speculated separation from longtime wife Annie Idibia, igniting debates across social media and political circles.
Osawaru, a 29-year-old lawyer and fashion design expert, currently serves as the Deputy Majority Leader in the Edo State House of Assembly, representing the Egor Constituency under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Despite her youth, she has built a reputation as a strong advocate for women’s empowerment and youth development, but her sudden link to 2Baba has thrust her into a different kind of spotlight.
Speculation about their relationship intensified after 2Baba made a surprise visit to the Edo State House of Assembly and was later seen with Osawaru at a Lagos nightclub. Addressing the rumors in an Instagram video, the singer dismissed claims that Osawaru had a hand in his split with Annie. However, he openly admitted, "Yes, I love her… I want to marry her."
The announcement has divided public opinion, with some applauding the lawmaker’s rising profile while others question the potential political fallout. As Osawaru remains silent on the matter, many wonder—will this love story strengthen her political brand or become a major distraction?
