Nigerian music star, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, and his wife, Natasha Osawaru, have reportedly been involved in a confrontation at an event in Abuja, barely two months after they were said to have separated.
The incident reportedly occurred on Friday night at the grand opening of Faze’s 90s Lounge in Abuja, where 2Baba was billed to perform. Blueprint reports
The development has sparked fresh public interest in the singer’s relationship with Natasha, particularly against the backdrop of his highly publicised separation from actress Annie Macaulay-Idibia in early 2025 and his subsequent relationship with the Edo State lawmaker.
According to a senior member of 2Baba’s management team, who spoke to Daily Post, tension reportedly developed after Natasha arrived at the venue with several security personnel and other men.
The management source alleged that the group attempted to take 2Baba away from the venue, leading to a confrontation involving the singer, members of his team and Natasha’s entourage.
The source further claimed that 2Baba and Natasha had been living separately for more than two months before the incident.
However, details surrounding what triggered the confrontation remained unclear as of the time of filing this report.
The claims by the singer’s management could not be independently verified, while Natasha had not publicly offered her account of the incident.
From Annie to Natasha
The latest development comes after a dramatic turn in 2Baba’s personal life that began publicly in January 2025, when the singer announced his separation from Annie Macaulay-Idibia, his wife of more than a decade.
2Baba announced on January 26, 2025, that he and Annie had been separated for some time and were in the process of filing for divorce. He later confirmed the announcement in a video after his initial social media post generated widespread reactions.
The separation brought renewed attention to the couple’s long relationship, which had lasted more than 20 years from their first meeting and included a marriage of about 12 years.
Annie and 2Baba had two children together and had become one of Nigeria’s most recognisable celebrity couples.
Annie later publicly acknowledged the end of their marriage during the 17th edition of The Headies in Lagos in April 2025.
2Baba confirms relationship with Natasha
Barely weeks after announcing his separation from Annie, 2Baba publicly confirmed his relationship with Natasha Osawaru, an Edo State lawmaker.
In February 2025, the singer said he wanted to marry Natasha and also maintained that she was not responsible for the marital problems between himself and Annie.
The relationship generated considerable public attention because of the timing, coming shortly after the singer’s announcement that his marriage to Annie had ended.
2Baba subsequently proposed to Natasha around Valentine’s Day in 2025, further confirming the seriousness of their relationship. Premium Times reported in July 2025 that the proposal came after the singer had announced his separation from Annie.
Private marriage ceremony
The relationship between 2Baba and Natasha later progressed to marriage.
In July 2025, reports emerged that the singer had traditionally married Natasha in a private ceremony, months after his separation from Annie.
The Guardian reported that the ceremony took place at a private location and followed the singer’s January announcement concerning his separation from Annie.
The development marked a significant new chapter in the singer’s personal life, although it also continued to attract considerable public attention because of the circumstances surrounding the end of his previous marriage.
Fresh controversy in Abuja
Against that background, Friday night’s reported confrontation in Abuja has added another unexpected twist to the singer’s relationship with Natasha.
The incident reportedly happened at an event associated with Faze, a former member of Plantashun Boiz alongside 2Baba and Blackface.
According to the management account, Natasha arrived at the venue with security personnel and other men, after which a confrontation allegedly broke out.
The management source described the situation as an attempt to take 2Baba away from the venue.
However, the precise circumstances surrounding the alleged confrontation remain unclear.
It is also not immediately clear what led to the reported disagreement, why Natasha was at the venue or whether the two had any prior arrangement to meet there.
Reports also differed in the description of what happened, with some publications carrying the management’s allegation as an attempted abduction, while others have simply described the incident as a confrontation between the estranged couple.
No independent confirmation
As of Saturday, there was no independent confirmation of the most serious allegations surrounding the incident.
It was also unclear whether anyone sustained injuries during the reported confrontation or whether the police made any arrests.
An eyewitness account circulating online has also provided a different set of claims about what allegedly happened at the venue, but those claims have not been independently verified either.
The absence of an official account from Natasha means that the circumstances surrounding the incident remain incomplete.
2Baba’s latest move
The reported confrontation has continued to generate reactions online, with subsequent reports claiming that 2Baba unfollowed Natasha on Instagram after the incident.
Legit.ng reported that the move came hours after the alleged confrontation at the Abuja event, although the significance of the social media action could not be independently established.
The singer has also reportedly been seen in connection with police authorities following the incident, although details of any official investigation or complaint remained unclear at the time of filing this report.
For now, the Abuja incident remains surrounded by competing accounts, with 2Baba’s management providing the principal account of what transpired and Natasha yet to publicly respond.
The development is likely to attract further attention given the public history of 2Baba’s relationship with Annie, his subsequent marriage to Natasha and the latest reports that the couple had themselves been separated for more than two months.
Until both sides provide fuller accounts, the specific circumstances that led to Friday night’s confrontation remain unconfirmed.
