Nigerian music legend 2Baba (Innocent Idibia) has publicly begged fans, media and social-media users to stop amplifying rumours about his marriage to Natasha Osawaru — warning that the intense scrutiny puts her safety at risk.
The saga reignited after a cryptic Instagram Story from 2Baba reading “help me.” The post quickly went viral, triggering concern and speculation. Shortly afterward, two of his former managers spoke on a livestream, accusing Natasha of controlling his finances and career, and claiming she had undue influence over him.
As tensions mounted, the couple’s private argument was heard during that live session, sending shockwaves across social media and prompting renewed scrutiny, even a rumored brief detainment in the UK resurfaced.
In response, 2Baba shared a video message saying the story wasn’t posted by him, calling the situation “dangerous,” and urging everyone to “ceasefire.” He insisted he’s “perfectly okay,” and pleaded for privacy so he and Natasha can address their issues away from the spotlight.
He added that while disagreements happen in every home, the level of public attention now is harmful and could endanger his wife. Fans and well-wishers were asked to step back.
In the broader context of celebrity culture, where private lives become public spectacle with a single post, 2Baba’s plea stands as a stark reminder: fame amplifies every whisper, and sometimes the noise can become dangerous.
