A recent incident involving veteran Nigerian singer Innocent '2Baba' Idibia and his wife, Natasha, in the United Kingdom has ignited a flurry of online discussions back home. The singer was reportedly involved in an exchange with his wife before being taken away by UK police officers.
Viral Praise for Natasha Idibia
Amid the circulating reports, a Nigerian social media user with the handle @potoms_ shared a perspective that quickly gained traction. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the lady urged people to protect Natasha, calling her a 'national treasure.'
She suggested that Natasha is providing the discipline that 2Baba's mother and his first wife, Annie Idibia, were unable to give him. 'Aaww, all the discipline she and Annie were unable to give 2Baba is what Natasha is giving with grace,' she wrote. The user concluded by remarking that such dramatic scenarios are usually only seen 'in Nollywood or Tyler Perry series.'
Public Reactions Pour In
The online community has been buzzing with diverse opinions following the news. While some focused on the alleged altercation, others commented on the broader dynamics of the singer's relationships.
User @0xOlaoluwaa expressed a common sentiment, questioning why some Nigerian women change their behaviour towards their husbands abroad. @TopNaijaLife described the singer's marital journey as moving 'from frypan to Fire,' implying a series of tumultuous relationships.
Others offered differing views. @Zynat4 expressed faith in the process, stating, 'I believe Natasha can change him.' Conversely, @DbPragmatic seemed weary of the public drama, advising the couple to solve their problems privately.
Background and Manager's Insights
This incident adds another layer to the ongoing public narrative around 2Baba's marriage to Natasha Osawaru. The couple, who welcomed their first child together recently, has been in the spotlight for various reasons.
In related reports, the singer's former managers have previously spoken about challenges in the marriage. They indicated that 2Baba faced difficulties in professional collaborations because his wife did not permit some of them. The managers also claimed the singer once felt he had no control over his finances, merely assisting at home while his wife managed everything.
The situation remains a developing story, with fans and critics alike watching closely as more details may emerge from the UK incident.
