Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has taken a bold step into a new chapter of his life, formally presenting his new fiancée, Honourable Natasha Osawaru, to the Idoma traditional council at the Och’Idoma Palace in Otukpo, Benue State. The grand introduction took place on Monday, April 21, 2025, during the prestigious Idoma Nation Peace and Unity Symposium.
Clad in regal Idoma attire, 2Baba appeared before His Royal Majesty, Agabaidu Elaigwu Odogbo Obagaji John, Och’Idoma V, alongside Osawaru, a respected political figure and former Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly. The symbolic event was witnessed by chiefs, elders, and kinsmen, solidifying the singer’s intent to marry Osawaru.
Following the traditional homage at the palace, the couple proceeded to Okpokwu, 2Baba’s ancestral hometown, where they were received by his extended family and community leaders. The visit, according to sources close to the artist, was meant to fulfill customary rites and gain family blessings before the formal wedding process begins.
2Baba’s surprise public proposal to Natasha in March 2025 sparked nationwide buzz, coming just weeks after he confirmed his separation from actress and longtime partner, Annie Idibia. While the separation had already been speculated since late 2024, the announcement shocked fans who had followed the couple’s high-profile love story for nearly two decades.
Describing Natasha Osawaru as “a woman of substance, purpose, and peace,” 2Baba shared in a viral video that he’s found renewed purpose in love and hopes to lead by example when it comes to culture, peace, and respect for tradition. Social media platforms have since been abuzz with praise and criticism alike, as fans process the star’s very public transition.
Osawaru, known for her grassroots leadership and advocacy for women in politics, has remained calm under the spotlight, thanking the Idoma people for their warm reception. Her team later issued a statement emphasizing that their union “celebrates tradition, maturity, and the promise of love rebuilt on clarity.”
With wedding preparations expected to begin soon, the music icon seems poised to blend royalty, legacy, and personal healing in what might be one of the most high-profile unions of 2025.
