A Nigerian Catholic priest has publicly intervened in the ongoing marital controversies surrounding music icon 2Baba Idibia and his wife, Natasha Osawaru. The clergyman offered pointed advice to the singer following a very public altercation between the couple.
The Instagram Live Altercation That Sparked Reactions
The latest episode in the couple's saga unfolded during an Instagram Live session hosted by media personality Daddy Freeze on December 3, 2025. The session initially featured two of 2Baba's former managers discussing the singer's recent scandal in the United Kingdom. However, the dynamics shifted dramatically when 2Baba himself joined the live broadcast, leading to a heated exchange with his wife, Natasha, which was witnessed by countless viewers.
Father Kelvin Ugwu's Three-Point Counsel to the Music Legend
In response to the viral incident, Reverend Father Kelvin Ugwu took to his Facebook page to address the singer directly. Expressing his admiration for 2Baba's artistry, Fr. Ugwu outlined three key pieces of advice.
First, he urged 2Baba to take a step back from "women affairs." The priest suggested that the singer has tried multiple relationships without finding lasting peace, humorously referencing "try one, try two, try three, try four and half." He implied that continual pursuit might not be the solution.
Second, Fr. Ugwu strongly advised the musician to redirect his focus towards "loving and caring for your children." He painted a vivid picture of the joy found in parenting—dropping kids at school, helping with homework, and simply spending time with them—noting that 2Baba is blessed with children who resemble him.
Third, the priest encouraged 2Baba to concentrate on his musical legacy. He praised the singer's "correct voice" and "evergreen" songs, urging him to spend more time in the studio. He reminded 2Baba that he is a "Legend" whose work transcends trendy, noisy music with empty lyrics.
Mixed Reactions from Netizens to the Priest's Advice
The priest's unsolicited counsel sparked a wave of reactions from social media users. Some questioned the advice for 2Baba to "rest" from relationships, interpreting it as a denial of peace of mind. Others took a more sympathetic view towards the singer's marital struggles.
One commenter, Chiamaka Jennifer Godwin, reacted with "Which kind rest? As per what exactly Padre? So you’re not happy for the peace of mind in his life ?"
Another user, Chinwendu Jude Jude, suggested humorously, "Since our legendary tubaba has tried setting down with different types of women still he hasn't gotten his peace of mind. He better still join the priesthood and rest."
A third comment from Ella Chiamaka Obasi read, "Baba na father of all nations. Na only this marriage no gree work for his life. Make him leave marriage alone, no be for everybody."
This public drama adds another chapter to the singer's well-documented personal life, placing it once again under the intense scrutiny of the Nigerian public and sparking broader conversations about marriage, fame, and personal peace.
