Legendary Nigerian musician Innocent Idibia, widely known as 2Baba, is reportedly preparing to wed his new partner, Natasha Osawaru, a serving lawmaker from Edo State. The traditional wedding ceremony is said to be scheduled for Friday, April 25, 2025, in Benin City.
This report comes in the wake of 2Baba’s public announcement regarding his separation from longtime partner and wife, Annie Macaulay-Idibia. The announcement generated widespread attention, particularly as the couple had been a staple in the Nigerian entertainment scene, with their love story spanning over two decades and producing two children.
Confirming his relationship with Natasha, 2Baba acknowledged that he is deeply in love with the lawmaker and expressed his desire to take their relationship to the next level. According to him, their bond is built on mutual respect, understanding, and shared values.
Nigerian journalist Stella Dimoko Korkus was among the first to break the news, posting on Instagram that the traditional marriage between the iconic singer and Natasha Osawaru will allegedly take place in Benin City. She also noted that all necessary cultural and familial rites have been fulfilled in preparation for the union.
“According to sources, the traditional wedding ceremony will allegedly hold on Friday, April 25, 2025, in Benin City,” Stella wrote. “All is set, and the right moves have been made to consolidate the relationship between the lovebirds.”
Further adding to the speculation, Stella revealed that on Monday, April 21, 2025, 2Baba took Natasha to his hometown in Benue State. There, he formally introduced her to the Idoma traditional leadership and his extended community, signifying serious intentions to marry her.
The news has sparked a fresh wave of debate across social media platforms, with many Nigerians reacting to the rapid transition from 2Baba’s previous marriage to a new engagement. While some fans have expressed disappointment, others have wished him well in this new chapter of his life.
Meanwhile, Natasha Osawaru, known for her political activism and rising influence in Edo State, has yet to publicly comment on the reports. Nonetheless, her association with 2Baba is already drawing increased media interest.
If the wedding goes ahead as reported, it would mark a new era for 2Baba, both personally and publicly, as he begins life afresh with a new partner. Fans and observers will undoubtedly be keeping a close watch on the unfolding events in the lead-up to April 25.
