"2Baba Seeks Assistance - Statement from Wizkid's Acquaintance, Godson"
In a dramatic turn of events, Nigerian music legend, 2Baba (also known as 2Face Idibia), tied the knot with Natasha Osawaru in a traditional wedding ceremony held in Abuja on July 25, 2025. This union comes after 2Baba's public split from his previous wife, Annie Macaulay, earlier in the year, marking the end of a long marriage dating back to 1999.
The union, however, has not been without controversy. Initial concerns were raised by 2Baba's mother, Rose Idibia, who publicly expressed spiritual concerns about Natasha before a visit in April 2025. After the visit, Rose gave her blessing to the couple, signalling familial acceptance and helping to ease tensions related to Natasha's involvement in 2Baba's life.
2Baba has spoken openly about the importance of emotional connection and honest decisions in relationships amid this transition. He emphasized emotional compatibility over physical attraction and advised couples to avoid staying in unhappy marriages due to societal pressure. He framed the situation as a mutual and amicable end to his previous marriage with Annie.
Despite the joyous occasion, the marriage has been met with criticism from some quarters. Godson, an associate of Wizkid, has expressed concern for 2Baba's marriage to Edo State lawmaker, Natasha Osawaru. He asserted that 2Baba is "crying for help" and that Nigerians are laughing about it. Baba Fryo, a veteran Nigerian musician, has stated that 2Baba and his estranged wife, Annie Idibia, did not manage their marriage very well. Baba Fryo further claimed that Natasha is no better than Annie.
Comedian AY defended 2Baba by saying men are trained to suffer in silence, while Cynthia Morgan defended 2Baba by stating that you can't force him into monogamy. Baba Fryo, who revealed he had known Natasha since she was three years old, stated that men desire women who can look out for them when they are drowning in vices. Do2dtun expressed concern for 2Baba, stating that someone is milking his vulnerability.
Videos and pictures from 2Baba's traditional wedding to Natasha have emerged online, causing a buzz. Despite the controversies, the couple seems determined to make their union work. As they embark on this new chapter, they face the challenges that come with any marriage, but with the support of their loved ones and the Nigerian public, they hope to overcome them.
