The ongoing marital saga involving legendary Nigerian singer, 2Baba Idibia, and his wife, Natasha Osawaru, has taken a dramatic legal turn. The singer's family has officially filed a petition with the Nigerian police, leveling serious allegations against Natasha, including bigamy and physical assault.
Petition Details and Serious Allegations
According to documents circulating online, the petition was addressed to the Inspector General of Police. The family accuses Natasha Osawaru of bigamy, alleging that 2Baba had not finalized divorce proceedings from a previous marriage before she began presenting herself as his new wife. This legal complication adds a significant layer to their public disputes.
The petition further contains other strong allegations. The family claims that Natasha has been assaulting the music icon at various locations, both in Nigeria and in London. These claims reference the now-viral videos showing heated altercations between the couple that sparked widespread reactions from Nigerians earlier.
In addition to the accusations of assault and bigamy, the document urges the police to investigate Natasha for alleged substance abuse. The family has also requested that the police recover 2Baba's travel documents, which they assert Natasha has seized, and they state she has been causing the singer public embarrassment.
Public Reaction and Probing Questions
As the petition made the rounds on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), netizens shared diverse views on the celebrity marriage drama. One lady, identified as @Premauj, offered a reaction that shifted focus from Natasha to 2Baba himself.
While expressing empathy for the family, she pointed out a pattern she observed in how they handle issues concerning the singer. She noted an apparent "infantilization" of 2Baba, suggesting he is often portrayed as being controlled, even in situations he entered willingly.
Her post on X posed two deep, rhetorical questions about the singer's character and his recurring personal conflicts: "Maybe he actually courts chaos?? How is he always the victim of unfortunate circumstances???" These questions challenge the narrative and imply that 2Baba might bear some responsibility for the persistent turmoil in his relationships.
Broader Context and Related Advice
This legal action comes amid a series of public controversies surrounding the couple. Their altercation, broadcast on Daddy Freese's Instagram Live session, had already fueled intense online discourse. The situation has drawn comments from various quarters, including religious figures.
In a related development, a Nigerian Catholic priest, Reverend Father Moses Ugwu, previously reacted to the marital drama. He was reported to have offered 2Baba three pieces of advice on how to handle the situation, although the specifics of that advice were not detailed in the initial report.
The filing of this police petition, dated around early December 2025, marks a significant escalation, moving the conflict from the realm of social media gossip and viral videos to a formal legal complaint. It remains to be seen how the authorities will respond to the family's allegations against Natasha Osawaru.
