Natasha Osawaru: ‘2Baba’s matter is becoming more worrisome for us’ – Family members


By Rachel Okporu Fadoju

Family members and friends of the legendary singer, Innocent Idibia, better known as 2Baba, have reportedly made several attempts to meet with him in recent times regarding his recent actions, but all have been unsuccessful.

Naija News reports that 2Baba sparked reactions after saying men are not wired to be sexually committed to just one woman.

He said, “Men are not built to be with one woman sexually. A man can love one woman and still desire others.”

After the backlash, he released an emotional video apologising to his new wife, Natasha Osawaru, his kids and fans.

He said, “I messed up. I know I’m going to pay a heavy price. I disappointed a lot of people, my fans, my family, especially my wife, Natasha.”

2Baba further described his words as a “poor attempt to explain male psychology,” but acknowledged the harm done, saying, “There’s no excuse. I take full responsibility.”

However, friends and siblings, in an interview with Punch, stated that the apology in itself lends credence to their claims that 2Baba is not in the right frame of mind.

The siblings also alleged that 2Baba’s phone had been hacked, noting that messages and other information were being deleted before the singer could access them.

Another source close to the family further revealed that 2Baba’s siblings are seriously worried about their brother’s state of mind because of some of the actions he has taken in recent times.

The source close said, “This matter is becoming more worrisome for us by the day. Do you know that people had to come from different places, including the United States of America, to have a meeting with 2Baba but he never showed up, even after promising that he would.

“This is not the Innocent that we know. He seems like someone being teleguided to do certain things that he normally wouldn’t.

“We are not happy that he has practically abandoned his family, businesses and every other thing in Lagos and relocated to Edo State. He is also not reachable, and that is unlike him.”
