‘Forgive me and my family’ - 2Baba apologises over marital discord

Innocent Idibia, popularly known as '2Baba' or '2Face', has apologized to the public following the intense controversy involving him and his new wife, Natasha Osawuru.

The saga erupted when two of the singer’s former managers, Kaka Igbokwe and Lori Tosan, accused 2Baba's wife of attempting to seize “full control” over 2Baba’s finances and career during a live stream hosted by Daddy Freeze.

The situation took a dramatic turn when 2Baba himself joined the broadcast, demanding his ex-managers stop discussing his private life.

However, shortly after his intervention, a loud argument between him and Natasha became audible off-camera. Their voices grew increasingly heated before the live broadcast was abruptly ended.

Wading in, members of 2Baba’s family filed a petition to the Inspector-General of police. The document accused Natasha Osawaru of assault, bigamy, and financial misconduct, alleging she physically attacked 2Baba in both the UK and Abuja and withheld his personal documents, including his passport.

2Baba, however, rejected his family’s narrative, arguing that their attempt to “save” him is destroying his life and “unfairly tarnishing Natasha’s character”.

The singer also called out his family for interfering in his marriage, alleging that his wife is receiving death threats.

Addressing the turmoil at a recent event, a visibly sober 2Baba issued an unreserved apology to the public.

In a now-viral video, the 50-year-old music icon described the ongoing public spectacle as unwanted “entertainment that needs to stop”.

“I must say that I don provide too much entertainment. Please do not be angry at me again. Please forgive me and my family,” he said.
