Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, globally known as 2Baba, has broken his silence in a powerful response to his family's recent actions concerning his marriage. The singer, who has been at the centre of public speculation due to viral videos, has directly addressed a petition filed by his relatives against his wife, Natasha.
Family's Petition and 2Baba's Fierce Rebuttal
Following the circulation of troubling videos featuring 2Baba and Natasha, both within Nigeria and abroad, the singer's family took a drastic step. They filed an official petition to the Assistant Inspector-General (AIG) of Police, making several allegations against Natasha. This move prompted an immediate and emotional reaction from the music star.
In a video message, 2Baba vehemently rejected his family's claim that they are attempting to "save" him. He argued that their actions are having the opposite effect, stating they are trying to destroy him and ruin his life. The artist expressed deep frustration, asserting that he is a grown man capable of making his own choices about who to be with.
Threats to Natasha and Past History
2Baba did not hold back in detailing the impact on his new wife. He revealed that Natasha has been receiving serious threats, with some individuals even threatening her life. He accused his family of trying to destroy "someone else's daughter" and lamented that the situation was spiraling out of control.
The "African Queen" crooner also drew a parallel to his past, claiming his family had engaged in similar behaviour towards his ex-wife, actress Annie Idibia. He expressed devastation that his relatives were now painting him as mentally unstable, a narrative he strongly refutes.
"I Am Perfectly Fine": 2Baba's Assurance to Fans
Amid the chaos, 2Baba took a moment to reassure his concerned fans about his well-being. He insisted that he is "perfectly okay" and in good health. To prove his point, he mentioned that he has been actively performing at shows in Abuja, indicating his professional life continues uninterrupted.
The music icon made a firm declaration, vowing never to stay silent again regarding public perception of his marriage. He emphasized his commitment to defending his personal life and choices from external interference.
Fans and Public React to the Drama
The public response to 2Baba's video has been swift and divided, as captured from social media reactions. Some fans sided with the singer, urging his family to back off. User @lezeli commented, "Make una leave this man abeg. I love Natasha for him pls."
Others referenced the past, with @goldies_luxury_fragrance noting, "God done dey vindicate Annie small small." Meanwhile, some expressed cynicism about the public nature of the dispute, like @julietreasure who wrote, "Finished man!! Well na u sabi."
This development follows earlier reports from talent manager Teebillz, who recalled private conversations with 2Baba concerning the singer's personal struggles, adding another layer to the ongoing public narrative.
