A viral video on Wednesday captured the moment music icon, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, proposed to Edo State lawmaker, Natasha Osawaru. In the video, the singer and the lawmaker were seen dancing together to the admiration of some of their friends. 2Baba later proceeded to present Osawaru with a ring after which they were locked in a long embrace. This comes just a day after 2Baba publicly confirmed his romantic relationship with Osawaru, setting social media abuzz. The revelation follows his recent separation from his wife, Annie Idibia, with the singer expressing his intention to take things further with Osawaru. Speculation about their relationship had been growing after 2Baba was seen at the Edo State Assembly and a video surfaced showing the two together at a Lagos club. Addressing the rumours, 2Baba took to Instagram on Tuesday to set the record straight. In the video, he said in part, “Allegedly, I have been seeing so many things, so many people coming up with their own false narratives and malicious nonsense after I posted that stuff that I posted. Yes, I posted what I posted. “Hon. Natasha has been dragged, she has been called all sorts of names, she has been labelled as a home breaker. “She is a young brilliant amazing woman and she had nothing to do with what is happening between me and Annie in our marriage. “Yes I love her, she is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her.”

Popular Nigerian musician and performer Innocent Idibia, widely known as 2Baba or Tuface, has revealed that he and his wife Annie Idibia have separated for a while before declaring it publicly. One of Nigeria’s biggest celebrity couples, Annie and Tuface got married in 2012 and had two daughters together. In a post on Instagram, the African Queen singer said they had been separated for some time and had taken steps toward a divorce. The post was later deleted but 2Baba then released a video to confirm that its contents were accurate. The singer is seen as being one of the pioneers of the Nigerian music scene that is now popular around the world, paving the way for musicians like Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy. The couple had a star-studded wedding ceremony in 2013, an event which was widely followed in Nigeria even though it took place in Dubai. The star is still widely known as Tuface even though he announced in 2014 that he had changed his name to 2Baba. News of the separation has shocked fans and admirers across the continent as the couple had overcome previous problems and are one of Nigeria’s longest-lasting celebrity couples. The former Plantashun Boyz member said he plans to hold a press conference to provide more details, adding that he is committed to sharing his perspective directly with his supporters and music lovers around the globe. “I and Annie Macauley have been separated for a while now, and currently filed for divorce,” he said in the Instagram post. In a bizarre twist, the post was deleted minutes later, followed by another saying the account had been hacked. But 2Baba then went live on his Instagram account to confirm his initial post about the separation. “No-one hacked my account, I said what I said, I come in peace,” he said in the video. The couple have also cut ties on social media, unfollowing each other on their respective platforms, backing the performer’s statement about their split. In the video of his most popular song, African Queen, Annie played his love interest and it is believed that their relationship blossomed from there. Annie, an actor, recently trended on social media after she shared personal details about her marriage, including a miscarriage and struggles with her husband’s other relationships, on the reality show Young, Famous & African.
