Music legend, Innocent Ujah Idibia, better known as 2Baba has spoken following his reveal that he and Annie Idibia are going through a divorce.
Following his revelation, criticism and speculations arose that the singer was in a romantic relationship with a lawmaker.
Confirming the reports, 2Baba took to Instagram in the wee hours of Wednesday, February 12, to express his feelings in a video message.
He explicitly stated that he is in love with Natasha Osawuru, an Edo State House of Assembly member, and plans to marry her.
2Baba stated that Natasha had no involvement in his divorce and should not be blamed or labeled as a “home wrecker.”
Expressing admiration for his new lover, the father of seven described her as a “young, brilliant, and amazing” woman.
He however acknowledged that his divorce from Annie is still a sensitive topic. The music icon emphasized that he and Annie have a good understanding of each other and are working towards a positive resolution.
He then addressed the public’s fascination with his personal life, urging them to focus on their own lives rather than spreading rumors and allegations.
2Baba’s message seemed like an appeal to fans to respect his privacy and not jump to conclusions about his personal life.
“Everybody’s going to be alright, everybody’s fine. Natasha has nothing to do with what’s happening between me and Annie. She’s a young, brilliant, amazing woman… I love her, she’s full of life. I want to marry her.
“Me and Annie, we know what’s going on, we don’t need anybody to tell us. Allegedly, everybody has been saying stuff, keep alleging, we shall continue to be alleged.”

It is also reported that 2Baba Idibia, and his new lover, Natasha Osawaru, are expecting their first child.
Last month 2Baba announced his separation from his wife of over a decade, Annie Idibia, via his Instagram page.
He revealed that he and Annie have been separated for a while and are on the verge of divorce, and promised to grant a press release to share his side of the story.
Social media users reacted following 2Baba’s public declaration of love for Edo State lawmaker, Honorable Natasha.
“Ladies always choose yourself first, this man has never come out to defend Annie even if it’s because of him they’re dragging her. But he came out to defend the lady he is with right now. And talking about how he wants to marry her. I wish them all the best and also Annie. I pray she finds herself again.”
