A video from the birthday celebration of Natasha Osawaru, the wife of legendary Nigerian singer 2Baba, has set social media platforms abuzz, sparking a fierce debate among netizens.
Viral Video Captures Dramatic Moment
The clip, which emerged online on November 19, 2025, captured a particularly dramatic moment from the Edo state lawmaker's low-key birthday party. In the now-viral video, a man is seen kneeling on the floor as he enthusiastically sprays naira notes on the celebrant, Natasha Osawaru.
Another segment of the footage shows the moment the man stood up and was rewarded with a warm embrace from 2Baba's wife. The video was originally shared by an Instagram page known as 2baba_house, which provided context for the man's actions.
According to the caption from the page, the man in question is actually a staff member working for the celebrity couple. The post read, "This is a video that has gotten to me in appreciation of his kindness here; he's our staff. 2BABA HOUSEmates, please show some love."
Nigerians Divided Over the Gesture
The unusual display of celebration has triggered a wave of mixed reactions across social media, with Nigerians sharply divided on the appropriateness of the man's actions.
Some commentators heavily criticized the act. A user named @blackfo24 questioned, "Why he has to humiliate himself like this." Another user, @muj8400, directed their criticism at Natasha, stating, "I don't understand why she would let someone kneel for her. it says a lot about her character." The sentiment was echoed by @adumbu_winifred_ who asked, "Was the kneeling down necessary???"
However, a different segment of online users saw no issue with the staff member's gesture. Defending him, @mattiesfoodhub commented, "He's only appreciating her boss and there is nothing wrong with what he has done, Appreciation." Another user, @tessy.gold1, used the opportunity to make a broader social commentary, noting, "Hmmmm Some men will be like I cannot kneel down to engage a woman but kneeling down to spray woman."
2Baba's Heartfelt Birthday Tribute
The viral incident occurred at a birthday party thrown by the music icon for his wife. 2Baba had graciously celebrated Natasha, publicly expressing his deep affection for her. The iconic singer stated that he was unable to fully explain the enormous love she had shown him and that he adores her, eagerly looking forward to spending his life with her.
Reports confirmed that the event was an intimate gathering, with the music icon hosting close friends and family to honor his wife. Photos from the celebration also made rounds on the internet, painting a picture of a joyful, though otherwise private, affair.
This is not the first time 2Baba and his wife have become a trending topic. Legit.ng had previously reported that the couple made headlines following a separate event, where netizens were particularly engrossed by the ensemble Natasha wore, triggering numerous reactions across social media platforms.
