Nigerian music legend Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia has publicly criticised members of his family, accusing them of worsening the crisis surrounding his marriage to Natasha rather than helping resolve it. His comments follow days of intense online speculation, leaked exchanges, and viral videos that have placed the couple under renewed scrutiny.
The controversy gained traction after an argument between the couple in the United Kingdom reportedly led to 2Baba’s brief arrest, according to circulating claims. The incident reignited debate about the state of their relationship, prompting a wave of commentary across social media.
Tensions escalated further during a recent Instagram Live session with broadcaster Daddy Freeze, where 2Baba and Natasha traded heated words in real time, leaving viewers alarmed at the depth of the conflict. Clips from the livestream quickly spread, fuelling conversations about alleged long-standing issues within the marriage.
Matters intensified when a message from the singer’s brother, Hyacinth Idibia, surfaced online. Many interpreted it as a sign that the family had stepped into the dispute and were increasingly concerned about the situation spiralling out of control.
Breaking his silence, 2Baba released a video in which he insisted that the involvement of certain relatives had inflicted more harm than support. He alleged that their actions were putting his wife in danger, claiming she had begun receiving threats. He said, “My family has, in the pretext of trying to save me, actually destroyed me and killed someone’s daughter’s character. Natasha is getting death threats right now.”
He acknowledged disagreements in the marriage but rejected the narrative that he needed saving, saying he was “perfectly okay” and capable of managing his relationship. The singer also suggested he had experienced similar interference during his past issues with Annie Idibia, adding that repeated patterns were now becoming “dangerous.”
His remarks have split public opinion, with some fans urging family members to step back and allow the couple space, while others believe intervention is necessary for the safety and wellbeing of everyone involved. The situation continues to unfold as Nigerians debate the balance between privacy, family loyalty and public accountability.
