Rose Idibia, the mother of renowned Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has publicly pleaded with his fiancée, Natasha Osawaru, to release him. Her appeal comes just 24 hours after the musician proposed to Osawaru, a lawmaker in Edo State, amid his ongoing divorce from his estranged wife, Annie Idibia.
In a widely circulated video on social media, Mrs. Idibia expressed concerns over her son’s mental state, suggesting that his recent actions were not of his own volition. She alleged that 2Baba was “not in his right senses” and implied that spiritual forces might be influencing his decisions. She specifically pointed to the traditional beads worn by the singer, urging Osawaru to remove them.
“Good evening, Nigerians. My name is Mrs. Rose Idibia, the mother of 2Face. This message is for Miss Natasha Osawaru of Edo State. I’m calling on all mothers in Nigeria to help me beg her to free my son. My son is going through a divorce process, and he is clearly not in his right senses now. I know my son well. That is not him. Please, Natasha, the beads you put on his hand and on his neck, remove them and free him,” she stated in the viral video.
The unexpected engagement between 2Baba and Osawaru comes just weeks after he publicly confirmed his separation from Annie Idibia, his wife of over a decade. The news of the divorce had already sparked controversy, with many fans and critics condemning the singer for what they described as an “insensitive” decision. His rapid move to propose to Osawaru has only intensified the backlash, with some speculating on the circumstances surrounding the relationship.
Mrs. Idibia’s emotional plea has added another layer of drama to the unfolding saga. Her statement, particularly the reference to the beads worn by the singer, has fueled discussions about possible spiritual influence or manipulation. Social media users have been divided on the issue, with some expressing sympathy for the mother while others dismissing her claims as baseless.
Meanwhile, neither 2Baba nor Natasha Osawaru has publicly responded to the allegations. The lawmaker, who has maintained a relatively low profile despite the controversy, has yet to address Mrs. Idibia’s concerns or clarify the status of her engagement with the singer.
As the situation continues to unfold, the public remains keenly interested in how 2Baba will navigate the ongoing turbulence surrounding his personal life. Whether this latest development will impact his engagement or lead to further revelations remains to be seen.
