Nigerian Music Legend 2Baba Expands His Family
Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, globally known as 2Baba, has reportedly welcomed a new baby with his wife, Natasha Osawaru. The couple's first child together, a baby girl, was born recently, adding a new chapter to the singer's extensive family history.
Social Media Announcement and Public Reaction
The news broke on social media platforms on a Friday evening, initially sparked by sightings of the Edo State lawmaker at a hospital. However, Natasha Osawaru confirmed the birth definitively on her official Facebook page with a simple yet powerful three-word post: "It's a girl." This announcement immediately put an end to all speculation and sent waves of congratulations across the internet.
The arrival of this child is particularly significant as it comes just months after 2Baba's private marriage to Natasha in August. This union followed the official confirmation in January that his marriage to actress Annie Macaulay, which lasted over a decade, had ended.
A Growing Family Tree
With this new addition, the afrobeats legend now has eight children. He was already a father to seven children from previous relationships with three different women. This makes the newborn baby his eighth, a fact that has drawn significant attention and commentary from fans and followers.
Social media users were quick to flood the couple's timelines with congratulatory messages. Legit.ng compiled some of the most notable reactions:
