2Baba is definitely on a mission to break Obasanjo’s internet this year. After rumours circulated online that 2Baba was in a relationship with the Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru, videos of the legendary musician at the Edo state House of Assembly went viral.
In a video responding to the clip of him and what social media had to say, 2Baba did not debunk the claims of a rumoured romance between himself and the lawmaker. He, in fact, doubled down.
In a now-viral clip, he stated: “I said what I said. All of us will be alright… Honourable Natasha, I see she has been dragged. She has been called all sorts of names. She has been labelled as a home breaker. She is a young, brilliant, and amazing woman.”
This comes only weeks after he announced that he had separated from his now estranged wife Annie Macaulay-Idibia. 2Baba also said in the videos that Osawaru had nothing to do with his marriage coming to an end.
“She has nothing to do with what’s happening between me and Annie,” he said. “But I see everybody trying to allegedly want to rope her into everything. Yes, I love her. She is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her.”
In another viral video, 2Baba gets down on one knee and stretches out a box that could contain a ring to her. We don’t see her wear a ring, but the couple danced together and hugged each other.
Hmmmm!! 2face and Natasha are engaged and set to marry. I love love but honestly, after watching this video, I’m not so sure if this is beautiful love
