Nigerian music sensation Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has proposed to Edo State lawmaker, Natasha Osawaru, in a moment that has set social media abuzz.
A viral video, which surfaced on Thursday, captured the emotional scene where 2Baba, while dancing with Osawaru, presented her with a ring, prompting cheers from onlookers. The couple then sealed the moment with a heartfelt embrace.
The proposal came shortly after 2Baba publicly confirmed his relationship with Osawaru, following his recent separation from his wife, Annie Macauley-Idibia. Their romance has been the subject of growing speculation after the singer was seen visiting the Edo State Assembly and later spotted at a Lagos club with Osawaru.
Amid the swirling rumours, 2Baba took to Instagram on Tuesday to clarify the situation, dismissing claims that Osawaru played a role in the breakdown of his marriage.
“Hon. Natasha has been dragged and called all sorts of names,” he stated. “She is a young, brilliant, amazing woman and had nothing to do with what happened between me and Annie. Yes, I love her, and I want to marry her.”
The announcement has since divided opinions online, with fans and critics weighing in on the singer’s new relationship. While some congratulated the couple, others questioned the timing of the proposal given 2Baba’s recent separation from his wife.
