A young Nigerian lady has offered pointed advice to the family of legendary singer Innocent '2Baba' Idibia, following the emergence of a petition they reportedly filed against his wife, Natasha. The lady, using the X (formerly Twitter) handle @SisiofLagos1, questioned the family's involvement, asking if the music icon was a child incapable of managing his own affairs.
Family Petition Sparks Public Reaction
The controversy ignited when documents surfaced online showing that 2Baba's family had submitted a formal petition containing several allegations against Natasha. This legal move quickly became a topic of intense discussion on social media platforms. While many netizens shared their views, the commentary from @SisiofLagos1 stood out for its direct address to the singer's parents.
In her post, the lady was quick to clarify that her intention was not to defend Natasha. Instead, she focused on the principle of the matter, emphasizing that 2Baba is a grown man who made his own choices. She argued that he should be allowed to live with the consequences, or the "peace," of those decisions without parental interference.
Two-Piece Advice for the Idibia Family
The lady proceeded to give two specific pieces of counsel to 2Baba's family. Her first advice was for them to "let him enjoy the peace of mind he chose." This suggests that the singer's marital path, regardless of its challenges, is his personal journey to navigate.
Her second piece of advice was more direct regarding family dynamics. She referenced past tensions with the singer's former partner and mother of some of his children, Annie Idibia. The lady stated, "And since Annie was their problem, they should better embrace Natasha, their good and perfect wife." This remark highlights a perceived pattern of familial discord with 2Baba's partners.
Netizens Weigh In on the Drama
The public reaction to the family's petition and the ensuing debate has been mixed and vocal. Other X users echoed the sentiment that 2Baba should be allowed autonomy. User @Pamilerinayolam questioned, "This his family self get as he be, feeding their son, as per baby wey still dey latch on milk? He can't make decisions on his own?"
Some comments pointed to a recurring theme. @MoanaHabbo wrote, "First it was Annie's fault, now it's Natasha's fault. When will they accept that 'innocent' was the wrong naming of their son." Another user, @_icekreem_, expressed frustration: "Mtchewwwww! This family always has in-law issues."
Other reactions expressed concern, with @msrukie1 calling the situation "a clear domestic violence case" that was being trivialized, while @akpan7 advised that the adults involved should be allowed to resolve their differences privately.
This incident adds another layer to the public narrative surrounding 2Baba's marriage to Natasha, which has been under scrutiny since their union. It follows other viral moments, such as a video where the singer appeared to avoid his wife's hand in public, and reports related to his arrest in the United Kingdom months prior.
