Music Legend 2Baba Hosts Intimate Birthday Celebration for Wife Natasha
Nigerian music superstar 2Baba recently demonstrated his affection for his new wife, Natasha Osawaru, by organizing a heartfelt birthday celebration in her honor. The event, which took place in November 2025, was a private affair attended exclusively by close family and friends, creating a warm and memorable atmosphere for the Edo state politician.
Private Party with Loved Ones
The birthday celebration was characterized by its intimate nature, with the music icon personally ensuring that only those closest to the couple were present. Photos from the event began circulating on social media platforms, particularly on Instagram where both 2Baba and Natasha shared glimpses of the special occasion. The images showed a beautifully arranged setting with the couple surrounded by their inner circle, all appearing to enjoy the carefully planned festivities.
In a touching display of his feelings, 2Baba expressed his deep admiration for his wife, stating that he finds it difficult to fully articulate the magnitude of affection she has shown him. The legendary singer openly declared his love for Natasha and his excitement about building their life together, sentiments that resonated strongly with their fans and followers.
Social Media Buzz and Fan Reactions
The news of Natasha's birthday celebration quickly captured public attention, with numerous fans taking to various social media platforms to share their excitement and admiration for the couple. Comments flooded in praising 2Baba for his thoughtful gesture toward his wife.
One Instagram user, @lady_jane_sonny, commented: "Happy birthday beautiful Queen❤️???" while another user, @alexandraheights, wrote: "Double congratulations my people." However, not all reactions were uniformly positive, with user @irre_placeable49 questioning: "Na everyday now she come dey do birthday? A day after Annie's birthday she posted her birthday and today again?"
The timing of the celebration was particularly notable as it came shortly after 2Baba's estranged wife, actress Annie Idibia (now known as Annie Macaulay), celebrated her own 41st birthday on Thursday, November 13. Annie had marked her special day by sharing stunning photographs on Instagram, including one featuring a striking red dress styled by celebrity stylist Swanky Jerry.
African Queen Legacy and Career Reflections
In related developments, 2Baba recently opened up about his iconic song "African Queen" during an appearance on the Entertainment & Lifestyle show. The legendary artist described the 2004 classic as both a tremendous blessing and a source of challenges throughout his extensive music career.
"That song has been a huge blessing and has turned into a problem for me, you know, but like I said earlier, I'm grateful for everything," the singer revealed. He acknowledged that while African Queen remains his most recognizable work, he has created numerous other songs that resonate deeply with his audience.
The song, which was featured on 2Baba's debut solo album Face 2 Face in 2004, propelled him to international stardom and established his reputation as one of Africa's most celebrated musical exports. Its success earned him multiple prestigious awards, including BET, MTV Europe, and MOBO honors, making him the first African artist to achieve this remarkable trifecta.
However, the legacy of African Queen has been somewhat complicated by ongoing allegations from his former Plantashun Boiz bandmate Blackface (Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo), who has repeatedly accused 2Baba of stealing the song. The music star has consistently denied these claims, maintaining that the song emerged from collaborative efforts during their band days. The controversy resurfaced in August 2025 when Billboard magazine declared African Queen the Greatest Afrobeats Song of All Time.
The couple continues to make headlines, with 2Baba and Natasha recently trending on social media following their appearance at a public event where netizens particularly engaged with the lawmaker's fashion choice for the occasion.
