Popular Nigerian skit maker and singer, Lawal Nasiru, widely known as Nasboi, has publicly expressed his profound disappointment and heartbreak following the circulation of controversial videos involving music legend, Innocent '2Baba' Idibia.
An Open Letter from a Devoted Fan
In an emotional open letter addressed to the 'African Queen' crooner, Nasboi revealed his deep personal connection to 2Baba, stating he had looked up to him as a role model since the age of 16. The letter, shared in early December 2025, was a direct response to a series of videos that surfaced online amid 2Baba's ongoing marital issues with his new wife, Natasha Osawaru.
Nasboi described the content of the videos as 'embarrassing' and painful to watch. He emphasized that the 2Baba he admired was known for his calm demeanor, humility, and grace, not for public altercations or online drama. "The 2Baba I grew up loving was calm, humble, and carried himself with grace," he wrote.
The Viral Videos That Sparked Concern
The controversy stems from two key videos that recently went viral on social media. One video, released by online commentator Tosin Silverdam, alleged that 2Baba was arrested by police in the United Kingdom. Another clip, captured during a live session by media personality Daddy Freeze, appeared to show a physical confrontation between 2Baba and his wife, Natasha.
In his letter, Nasboi appealed directly to the music icon, stating, "Sir, you may have your private battles... but the version of events being brought online now is damaging and unfamiliar to those of us who truly love and respect you." He urged 2Baba to take control of the narrative, concluding with words of continued support: "We still believe in you. We still admire you."
Mixed Reactions from Netizens and Celebrities
The publication of Nasboi's open letter by Legit.ng on 3rd December 2025 triggered a wave of mixed reactions from fellow celebrities and online users.
While some fans echoed Nasboi's sentiments of loyalty and concern, others criticized the public nature of the letter. User chygoz231 commented, "When you love someone, you protect them, not expose them... you would not want someone with a platform as big as yours to pry in your private affairs." Another user, tezimperfect, suggested a private message would have been more appropriate for showing respect.
Conversely, supporters like dai_mond_lolly affirmed their unwavering admiration, calling 2Baba a "legend." The debate highlights the complex relationship between public figures, their private lives, and their audience in the digital age.
This incident adds another layer to 2Baba's recent personal challenges, following earlier comments from his brother and other public figures urging him to seek help. As the story develops, fans await the music icon's response to both the viral videos and the outpouring of concern from his peers.
