The mother of legendary singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba or 2Face, Rose Idibia, has made a heartfelt plea to his new fiancée, Natasha Osawaru Igbinedion, in a video circulating online.
On February 12, 2025, 2Baba proposed to the Edo State lawmaker, and she accepted his proposal in a widely shared video.
However, the situation took an unexpected turn when the singer’s mother publicly expressed her disapproval of their relationship on social media.
In her emotional appeal, Rose Idibia urged Natasha to remove the beads she had placed on her son’s hands and neck, asking her to release him. She emphasized that 2Baba is currently going through a divorce from his wife of over ten years, Annie Idibia, and insisted that he is “not in his right senses” at this time.
“Good evening Nigerian, my name is Mrs Rose Idibia. This message is for Miss Natasha Osawaru of Edo State. I am calling on all mothers in Nigeria to help me beg her to release or free my son. My son is going through a divorce process and is clearly not in his right senses. I know my son, this isn’t him.
Please, Natasha the beads you put on his hands and his neck, remove them and free him”.

Bond__builders said: “I keep telling people… there’s no how a person will spend years with another person and just move ahead like there was nothing. Esp if there have had several years of dating plus years of marriage and children and all the achievements together. Instead, they would wait to get over them first than just move one with another partner like dat. Except it is spiritual or the person is just masking it.”
Micheal_ogabor said: “My heart goes out to all the young children involved. I hope they don’t develop any form of trauma from this show of shame. Please consider your children’s mental health.. especially the teenage ones.”
