Nigerian music star Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has publicly addressed the growing speculation surrounding his marriage to Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru, appearing to acknowledge that the relationship is facing serious challenges.
2Baba spoke about the situation on Sunday, August 9, 2026, while performing at Daddy Showkey’s “50 Years on Stage” concert. During the performance, the singer made remarks about avoiding trouble and appeared to refer to the difficulties surrounding his relationship.
“I don go look for trouble. I don hear am,” 2Baba said while addressing the audience.
He later added in Pidgin English: “Going forward ehh, I don decide not to dey look for trouble again. I don go look for trouble, I don hear am.”
The comments came amid renewed public attention on the couple following reports of an incident at an Abuja nightclub where 2Baba was scheduled to perform.
According to reports cited by multiple Nigerian outlets, Natasha allegedly arrived at the venue and sought to see the singer. Videos and accounts of the incident subsequently circulated widely on social media, triggering fresh speculation about the state of the couple’s marriage. However, details surrounding the nightclub incident remain based largely on reports and social-media material, and the parties involved have not publicly provided a full account of what happened.
The latest controversy also followed reports that 2Baba had unfollowed Natasha on Instagram and subsequently followed his former wife, actress Annie Idibia. The social-media activity further fueled speculation about tension within his current marriage.

When a member of the audience attempted to describe the situation as love, 2Baba rejected the suggestion.
“Na love now,” the fan reportedly shouted from the crowd.
2Baba responded: “Na love? You dey craze.”
The exchange quickly attracted attention online, with fans and social-media users interpreting the remarks as the singer’s clearest public indication yet that his marriage to Natasha is experiencing difficulties.
The development is particularly significant because 2Baba had previously pushed back against speculation concerning problems in his relationship with Natasha. In an interview earlier in 2026, the singer dismissed claims that his wife controlled his movements or prevented him from performing at events, describing some of the reports as sensational and based on assumptions.
The renewed controversy has also brought his previous relationship with Annie Idibia back into public discussion. However, recent reports of a possible reconciliation between 2Baba and Annie were dismissed by Annie after old nightclub footage of the former couple resurfaced online. Annie said the videos were old and were being misrepresented as recent events.
2Baba and Annie ended their marriage in January 2025 after more than a decade together. They share two daughters, while 2Baba subsequently married Natasha Osawaru.
The latest remarks from 2Baba have therefore added another chapter to the singer’s highly publicised personal life. While he did not provide a detailed account of the problems in his marriage or directly explain the nightclub incident, his comments at the concert have intensified public interest in the relationship.
For now, there has been no detailed public statement from Natasha addressing the allegations surrounding the Abuja incident or responding directly to 2Baba’s comments at the concert. The circumstances behind the reported dispute remain subject to competing accounts and should not be treated as established fact beyond what the individuals involved have confirmed.
The controversy has nevertheless continued to generate significant discussion across Nigerian social media, with fans closely following developments involving one of the country’s most prominent music stars.
