Lagos/Abuja — August 9, 2026: Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has unfollowed his wife, Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru, on Instagram, marking a significant escalation in their ongoing marital troubles.
The move, confirmed by multiple media checks on Sunday morning, came hours after a reported confrontation between the couple outside a nightclub in Abuja on Friday night.
2Baba had been scheduled to perform at the grand opening of 90s Lounge, linked to fellow artiste Faze.
According to accounts circulating on social media and confirmed by a senior member of 2Baba’s management team, Natasha allegedly arrived at the venue with security personnel and a group of men. She approached the singer’s vehicle, leading to tension and the intervention of police.
Sources claimed the situation developed into a confrontation involving 2Baba and members of his team.
Management sources further stated that 2Baba and Natasha have been living apart for more than two months. The singer reportedly left their marital home earlier and blocked Natasha from contacting him.
Following the Friday incident, he was said to have informed her that he was no longer interested in continuing their relationship.
As of Sunday, 2Baba had unfollowed Natasha on Instagram while she continued to follow him. In a parallel development that has fuelled further speculation, his estranged first wife, actress Annie Idibia, followed him back on the platform after months of mutual unfollowing. 2Baba reciprocated by following Annie again.
The latest episode adds to a series of public challenges in the couple’s relatively short marriage. 2Baba and Natasha got married in July 2025 after he publicly proposed to the lawmaker earlier that year, following his separation from Annie Idibia in January 2025.
Their relationship has repeatedly drawn intense media and public attention, including previous allegations of control, family interventions, and domestic disagreements.
Natasha has not issued a detailed public response to the unfollow or the nightclub incident as of the time of this report. In earlier comments amid previous speculation, she has acknowledged marital difficulties while insisting the marriage remained intact.
Neither 2Baba nor his management has released an official statement addressing the Instagram action or confirming a formal separation. The singer has previously urged fans and the public to stay out of his private affairs, citing concerns for safety and privacy during past controversies.
Social media users have reacted strongly to the developments, with many interpreting the unfollow and the renewed connection with Annie as signs that the union with Natasha may be nearing its end. Others have called for restraint and privacy for all parties involved.
The situation remains fluid, and further statements from 2Baba, Natasha Osawaru, or their representatives are expected as the story continues to unfold.
