Music icon Innocent “2Baba” Idibia has responded to the petition filed by his family against his wife, Natasha Osawaru, a member of the Edo State House of Assembly.
The Idibia family had petitioned the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, demanding an investigation into allegations of bigamy, financial misconduct, and assault levelled against Natasha.
They alleged that her actions had caused the singer emotional distress, financial losses, and reputational harm.
But in a video released on the 2Baba House Instagram page on Friday, the 50-year-old dismissed the allegations and said his family’s petition had caused him personal damage.
The “African Queen” crooner said the tension surrounding the petition had escalated beyond control.
“This whole thing has gotten dangerously out of hand. I’m not just going to be quiet anymore. I feel I have to say some facts here. I’m a grown man, and I believe I have the right to be whoever I want to be,” he said.
He accused his family of worsening the situation rather than helping him.
“My family has, in trying to say they want to save me or help me, actually destroyed me. And they have killed somebody’s daughter’s character. Like, they’ve just literally killed somebody because Natasha is getting death threats right now.”
2Baba, who recently headlined a show in Abuja, stressed that he was fine and had been actively seen in public.
“How can you say you’re trying to save somebody’s life and then you’re messing my whole life up?” he asked.
The musician revealed that Natasha has been receiving daily death threats based on allegations he insists are completely fabricated.
“It’s my whole family, my brothers. I’m sorry to say, this is not right anyway. Natasha is getting death threats. This is so unacceptable. It’s not fair. It’s not nice. I have the right to be with whoever I want to be with.”
He accused his family of engaging in a pattern of harmful behaviour, saying they had done the same in the past.
“My family did the same thing with Annie. We all have our differences… but this has become so dangerous right now. It’s not funny anymore. I am totally devastated,” he said.
2Baba said the ongoing controversies were deeply hurtful and accused some of his former staff of spreading lies.
“What my family is doing, and the people I worked with before going out there, fabricating so many lies… it’s so unfair,” he said, adding that in the coming days he would openly address matters he had previously kept private.
He rejected claims that he was mentally unstable.
“I’m perfectly normal. Painting me as mentally unstable is ridiculous. This has got to stop.”
Appeal To Stop Threats
The singer also pleaded with those issuing threats against his wife to stop immediately.
“Writing a petition and saying all sorts of nonsense… this is not fair. All the people sending death threats, please, stop it. We are fine,” he said.
He urged his family to stay out of his marriage.
“Please, I want to tell my family, stay out of my private and personal life. Let me be with who I want to be with. Natasha has been hurt so terribly… you’re killing me. You say you’re helping me, but you’re killing me.”
2Baba said he would speak more openly in the coming days but appealed for space.
“Let us be. That’s the only simple appeal I have for everybody.”
Backstory
Since 2Baba publicly confirmed his relationship with Natasha, the couple has remained the subject of intense public scrutiny.
The situation escalated after a confrontation between the pair was captured during an Instagram Live session hosted by Daddy Freeze.
The singer also appeared in a separate viral video where he was purportedly arrested in the United Kingdom following an alleged dispute involving the lawmaker.
As the videos spread, 2Baba posted on his Instagram Story on Wednesday: “Help me.”
