After months of controversy and family tension, Nigerian music legend 2Baba Idibia has finally brokered peace between his mother, Rose Idibia, and his new lover, Natasha Osawuru.
A heartwarming video that surfaced on Sunday showed Natasha and 2Baba visiting his mother which is a major turn from the heated drama that dominated headlines just two months ago.
Recall that in January 2025, 2Baba shocked fans across Africa when he publicly announced his separation from longtime wife and actress, Annie Idibia, via a candid Instagram post. Mere hours after the bombshell announcement, the music icon unveiled Natasha Osawuru, a sitting member of the Edo State House of Assembly, as his new partner. The move sent shockwaves through the entertainment world, sparking widespread debates and mixed reactions from fans, celebrities, and media alike.
However, the situation quickly spiraled when 2Baba’s mother, Rose Idibia, publicly accused Natasha of “holding her son hostage” using traditional spiritual beads. In a viral social media video, Rose claimed that 2Baba was not in his right mind, pleading tearfully for Natasha to remove the beads allegedly tied around his neck and wrists. The matter escalated to a formal complaint, with Rose petitioning the Department of State Security (DSS), alleging that her son had gone missing.
The new video, however, suggests that tempers have cooled and bridges are being rebuilt. In the footage, Natasha and 2Baba are seen sharing a calm, respectful visit with Rose Idibia, signaling what many fans hope is a new chapter for the family. Sources close to the Idibia family hint that private discussions behind the scenes helped pave the way for this reconciliation.
While it remains unclear whether this truce is permanent or just a temporary ceasefire, fans of 2Baba Idibia are hopeful that the legendary singer can now focus on his music and personal happiness without the cloud of family drama hanging over him.
