The Idibia family today formally announced that they have filed a petition with law enforcement authorities against Natasha Osawaru, wife of Nigerian music legend Innocent “2Baba” Idibia.
This action comes in response to what the family describes as “a pattern of troubling behavior and escalating domestic disputes” that have recently spilled into the public domain.
Viral videos circulated online in late November and early December captured heated altercations between 2Baba and Natasha, both in Nigeria and abroad.
The situation intensified after 2Baba appeared in a controversial Instagram Live session hosted by Daddy Freeze, where further arguments between the couple were broadcast to thousands of viewers. Natasha, who is also a sitting member of the Edo State House of Assembly, has faced mounting scrutiny as the drama crossed from entertainment headlines into political discourse.
The Idibia family has petitioned the police, alleging that Natasha’s conduct includes assault, manipulation, and bigamy-related concerns.
According to the family, these allegations are not only damaging to 2Baba’s wellbeing but also risk tarnishing his reputation as one of Nigeria’s most respected artists. The petition seeks formal investigation and intervention to ensure the safety of all parties involved.
In a separate statement, 2Baba urged fans and the public to remain calm and avoid fueling the controversy, stressing that the situation has already placed his wife at risk. He denied responsibility for a now-deleted Instagram post reading “Help me”, which had sparked widespread concern.
The Edo State Assembly has reportedly summoned Natasha to address the matter, underscoring the seriousness of the allegations and their potential political implications. Social media platforms have been flooded with commentary, memes, and speculation, making the Idibia family’s petition a focal point of national conversation.
The Idibia family emphasized that their decision to involve law enforcement was taken reluctantly but necessarily, in order to protect their son and preserve his legacy. They called on the public, fans, and political stakeholders to respect the privacy of the family while investigations proceed.
