The ongoing marital saga involving Nigerian music legend Innocent '2Baba' Idibia and his wife, Natasha Osawaru, has taken a new turn with a heartfelt public intervention from a family member.
Brother's Emotional Plea for 2Baba
On December 3, 2025, Hyacinth Idibia, the younger brother of the Afrobeats icon, used his Instagram Stories to share a deeply emotional message. He expressed concern over the difficult situation his brother is facing, suggesting that the singer's real-life experiences are mirroring the painful themes of his own past lyrics.
His post read: "You've always been ahead. Always have been brilliant. Lyrics meant to inspire, but somehow, they're unfolding in real time... Painful reality, allow us save you, Oyinem. You’ve been suffering for too long. God knows." The use of the phrase "allow us save you" indicates a family desire to intervene in the singer's personal struggles.
Viral Videos Spark Controversy
Hyacinth's plea comes in the wake of a series of controversial videos that flooded social media, casting a shadow over 2Baba's marriage. Legit.ng had earlier reported that one viral clip showed a woman believed to be Natasha Osawaru raising her voice at 2Baba inside a London shop, accusing him of shouting at her.
Hours later, another video, shared by blogger Tosin Silverdam on TikTok, caused even more alarm. It appeared to show 2Baba being approached by police officers in London, speaking with them outside a retail store before being escorted away with his hands reportedly cuffed behind him. The authenticity and context of this footage have been subjects of intense online debate.
Mixed Reactions from Netizens
The public reaction to Hyacinth's post has been divided. Some social media users expressed sympathy for 2Baba, while others questioned the narrative of him being a perpetual victim.
User @adafresh_adadioranma commented critically, "Badly raised children, your entire family including your mother, needs Jesus." Conversely, @chinapreordercircle urged the family to take action: "...you all should come together and bundle him away from her. She’s not bigger than your family put together."
Other notable reactions included:
- @v_pretzy: "2Baba is a prophet ooo. Everything he sang is coming to pass. In his own life ooo."
- @cynthianwagod: "So both Annie and Natasha are the problem, he is innocent? ok now."
- @_honeyricci_: "Grown man suffering and needs saving? odiegwu."
Annie Idibia's Subtle Response
Adding another layer to the drama, 2Baba's ex-wife, Annie Idibia, also sparked conversations online. Shortly after the video of the alleged arrest surfaced, she posted a series of reflective messages on her own Instagram Story, though she did not directly address the incident. This move led many followers to speculate about her feelings regarding the ongoing situation involving her former husband.
The situation remains fluid, with the family's internal plea now public and the Edo State House of Assembly having previously summoned Natasha Osawaru over an earlier viral video. As the court of public opinion remains in session, fans await further clarity on the true state of affairs in the singer's personal life.
