Former managers of legendary Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, have made startling allegations against his wife, Natasha Osawaru. Kaka Igbokwe and Efe Omorogbe claim her interference in his career derailed ambitious plans to elevate the 'African Queen' crooner to global stardom.
"Bad for Business": Allegations of Career Sabotage
Speaking during a recent live session with media personality Daddy Freeze, the ex-managers outlined their concerns. They emphasized that a core part of their strategy was to push 2Baba into lucrative international markets, a common path for top Nigerian artists seeking greater financial rewards. One manager starkly stated, "2Baba needs to recognise that this woman is bad for business."
They revealed that extensive plans, including a UK tour, an African tour, stadium shows, and government-backed engagements in at least five countries, were fully finalized. However, they allege Natasha Osawaru single-handedly halted these moves. "But Natasha came and said no. We’re stamping everything down. We can’t move," they claimed during the interview, which took place on December 2, 2025.
Disturbing Personal Claims and a Vision Derailed
The conversation took a more personal turn when one of the managers shared a disturbing experience. He recounted, "I’ve entered into their bedroom and seen things I’m not meant to see. Daddy Freeze, I need therapy with what I’ve seen." When probed about the involvement of Natasha's family, the managers declined to comment, hinting the situation was "deeper than what we’re seeing online."
Their long-term vision was to position 2Baba alongside globally respected African music icons like Angélique Kidjo. They expressed frustration that this trajectory was abruptly cut short due to the alleged domestic interference, preventing the artist from reaching what they believed was his full international potential.
Public Reaction and Broader Context
The revelations have sparked a flurry of reactions online. Social media comments compiled by Legit.ng show a divided public. Some users referenced 2Baba's past marriage to Annie Idibia, with one comment reading, "He had a woman that supported him with everything and he left her for a woman that will help him loose everything??" Others expressed skepticism, questioning why the singer is constantly portrayed as being controlled by those around him.
This controversy follows previous reports by Legit.ng concerning a viral video of 2Baba's alleged arrest in the UK in October and public altercations between the singer and Natasha. The former managers' claims add a new, professional dimension to the ongoing public narrative about the singer's private life and career management.
The situation highlights the complex intersection of celebrity, marriage, and business in the Nigerian entertainment industry, raising questions about influence and control behind the scenes of a superstar's career.
