The Nigerian entertainment scene was set abuzz last night following a dramatic and expletive-laden intervention by rapper Jesse Jagz on a popular Instagram live session.
A Fiery Defense for a Music Legend
The rapper forcefully joined the live broadcast of media personality Daddy Freeze, where he launched a passionate tirade against the host and other Nigerians for publicly dissecting the alleged marital crisis of iconic singer 2Face Idibia. Jesse Jagz vehemently argued that 2Face is a national legend who deserves his privacy and should be left alone by the public and commentators.
This outburst was the latest episode in a saga that began earlier in the week. On Monday, December 1, a former manager of 2Face, Kaka Igbokwe (also known as Kala), made shocking claims during an interview on Daddy Freeze's platform. Kala alleged that 2Face's wife, Natasha, is severely abusive towards the singer, reducing him to feeling like a 'House Husband'.
He further accused the couple of abusing drugs and suggested they needed rehabilitation and therapy. The most damaging claim was that Natasha now controls 2Face's finances and is making poor decisions with his money. These revelations sparked widespread concern and calls for 2Face to be 'rescued' from his situation.
2Face's Plea and Jagz's Drastic Plan
In response to the growing public frenzy, 2Face Idibia himself appealed for calm on Wednesday, December 3. He asked Nigerians to 'cease fire', warning that the intense hate directed at his wife Natasha was dangerous and could put her in harm's way.
However, the discussion clearly did not stop, prompting Jesse Jagz's fiery entry. Not content with just verbal defense, the Jos-based artist announced a drastic plan. He declared, 'I am physically heading from Jos to Abuja tomorrow morning. I am physically going to remove 2Baba make him go drink beer. Make him smoke Igbo.' This statement implied his intention to personally liberate 2Face from his perceived troubles.
Concerns Over Conduct and Ongoing Speculation
While his defense of a colleague was noted, Jesse Jagz's own demeanor during the live session raised eyebrows among some viewers. He was visibly smoking while speaking, which added to the chaotic and concerning atmosphere of the broadcast.
The entire incident highlights the intense scrutiny and speculation that often surrounds celebrity marriages in Nigeria. It also underscores the conflict between public curiosity and a celebrity's right to privacy, even when allegations are made by insiders. The situation remains unresolved, with the public awaiting to see if Jesse Jagz will follow through on his promise to travel to Abuja and what, if any, further developments will emerge from 2Face Idibia's household.
