Legendary Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face or 2Baba, has issued a strong public statement defending his personal life and relationship with Edo State lawmaker, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. The musician took to social media to address the growing controversy and alleged harassment surrounding their union.
A Plea for Privacy and an End to Threats
In a video shared on the morning of Friday, December 5, 2025, the 'African Queen' crooner made an emotional appeal to the public. He revealed that his partner, Natasha, has been subjected to severe de@th threats. 2Face directly linked this alarming development to a recent online incident involving his former manager, Kaka Igbokwe.
According to the singer, Igbokwe took to social media to level what 2Face describes as 'false accusations' against Natasha. The fallout from these claims, he insists, has placed her in genuine danger. This situation prompted the usually private star to break his silence, stating firmly that he will no longer stay quiet while his image and the safety of his loved ones are tarnished.
Standing His Ground Against Family Pressure
The artist's message was not solely directed at the online community. In a surprising and candid moment, 2Face turned his attention to his own family. He accused his brothers of actively destroying Natasha's reputation and, by extension, putting her safety at risk.
Drawing a parallel to past conflicts, he made a striking comparison. 'My family also did this same thing to Annie,' he declared, referencing his well-publicized marital issues with his wife, actress Annie Idibia. This statement suggests a pattern of familial interference that he is now determined to stop.
His core message to his relatives was blunt and unequivocal: 'Stay out of my personal and private life. Just let me be with who I want to be with.' He emphasized his autonomy as a grown man, asserting, 'I have a right to be with whoever I want to be with. I am not a child.'
The Public Reaction and Lasting Impact
The video, which was subsequently reposted by major blogs like Linda Ikeji's, has ignited a fresh wave of discussions across Nigerian social media. Fans and commentators are deeply divided. Some support 2Face's right to privacy and personal happiness, while others question the complexities of his personal life given his public profile and family commitments.
This public outburst highlights the intense pressure Nigerian celebrities face, where the lines between public persona and private life are constantly blurred. It also underscores the very real consequences of online gossip, which can escalate from mere chatter to tangible threats. 2Face's decision to speak out marks a significant shift in his approach to handling personal controversies, setting a clear boundary for his family and the public alike.
As the story develops, the focus remains on whether this plea will curb the online vitriol and threats, and how his family will respond to these very public accusations.
