Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has sparked widespread debate after videos and photos of his secret traditional wedding to Natasha Osawaru surfaced online. The unexpected ceremony, reportedly attended by only close family members, showed the couple dressed in elaborate Edo attire, smiling beside their traditional wedding cake.
The wedding took place just a few months after 2Baba publicly confirmed his separation from his longtime wife, actress Annie Macaulay Idibia, with whom he shares three children. He announced his engagement to Natasha in February, shortly after confirming the split, drawing criticism for what many have described as a rushed transition.
Actor and influencer Uche Maduagwu voiced strong disapproval, claiming on Instagram that the marriage would not last unless 2Baba apologizes to Annie. He described 2Baba as visibly unhappy in the wedding clips and urged fans to pray for the singer, adding that he received a divine message about the union’s failure within two years if reconciliation with Annie does not happen.
The wedding clip featured comedian Mark Angel performing a saxophone rendition of 2Baba’s hit song African Queen, creating a sentimental moment that quickly spread across social media. While some fans congratulated the couple, others criticized the timing, expressing sympathy for Annie and questioning whether 2Baba had truly healed from his previous marriage.
The buzz surrounding the wedding continues to grow, as fans, critics, and followers of the iconic artist debate his choices and the future of his new relationship.
