An old video featuring Rose Idibia, the mother of legendary Nigerian singer Innocent '2Baba' Idibia, has made a dramatic return to social media timelines. The clip, which sees her pleading with Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osaworu to leave her son alone, has resurfaced amid her current silence on the fresh controversies surrounding 2Baba's marriage.
Old Pleas in a New Storm
The video in question was originally posted online in February 2025. In the emotional footage, Mrs. Idibia directly appeals to Natasha, claiming her son was not thinking clearly due to the ongoing divorce proceedings with his then-estranged wife, Annie Idibia.
"Please, Natasha, the beads you put on his hand and neck, remove them and free him," a distressed Rose Idibia is heard saying in the video. She framed her appeal as a mother's desperate attempt to protect her son during a vulnerable period.
A Swift Turnaround and Current Silence
The resurgence of this plea is particularly striking given the events that followed. Months after the video went viral, 2Baba's mother appeared to have accepted Natasha, even gracing the couple's wedding ceremony. Her visible presence and participation in the celebration marked a significant shift from her earlier public stance.
However, her current silence following the new wave of public drama involving 2Baba and Natasha's marriage has not gone unnoticed. This quiet has sparked a flurry of reactions online, with many netizens referencing the old video to question her position now.
Netizens React with Memes and Questions
The internet has been buzzing with comments, mixing humour with pointed criticism. Many have called out the apparent contradiction between her past pleas and her subsequent actions.
Social media users were quick to remind everyone that she later attended the wedding, with some noting she was seen "dancing and happy" on the big day. Others referenced a birthday celebration Natasha reportedly held for her. Comments like "Mama but you later went and she did birthday for you" and "No be she follow them dey shine teeth the other day?" flooded the posts sharing the old clip.
The underlying sentiment from many commentators is that the mother has backtracked on her initial fierce protective stance, leading to taunts and memes.
This episode adds another layer to the ongoing public saga of 2Baba's personal life, highlighting how past statements can return to haunt present situations, especially in the unforgiving court of social media opinion.
