Amidst recent developments of 2Baba publicly declaring his love and proposing to his new girlfriend shortly after announcing his divorce from Annie, reports have stated that the musician has been absent from his home in Lagos, Nigeria for some time.
Reports from his family have established that 2Baba has been missing from his Lagos residence and is currently staying with his new girlfriend at an undisclosed location in another state.
The sudden and consistent display of 2Baba’s new relationship with Natasha Osawaru, the Deputy Majority Leader of Nigeria’s Edo State House of Assembly, including his proposal to marry her, has since left many puzzled.
Reports have also stated that Natasha pressured 2Baba into announcing his divorce from Annie publicly, allegedly threatening to abort their child if he did not comply.
Currently, 2Baba is said to be under the strong influence of his new girlfriend, who appears unwilling to let go.
This has left many speculating about whether he is truly in the right state of mind.
In the midst of these developments, 2Baba’s mother, Madam Rose Idibia, has taken to social media to appeal to Natasha.
She has bluntly stated that Natasha has placed ‘juju’ (black charm) on her son.
According to her, Natasha has placed some charms on 2Baba’s neck and wrist causing him to make some irresponsible decisions.
“My son is going through the divorce process, and he is clearly not in his right senses. I know my son very well. This is not him. Please, Natasha, remove the beads you placed on his hand and neck and free him,” she said in a video that has been circulating on social media.
Madam Idibia has called on all mothers to help plead with Natasha to release her son.
“I am calling on all mothers to help me beg her to free my son,” she added.
2Baba’s announcement of the end of marriage to Annie
On January 26, 2025, 2Baba took to his Instagram stories to state that he and Annie have been separated for some time and have now officially filed for divorce.
He wrote, “Hello to my beautiful people of all federations. Well, this thing I have to say is short but also long… Annie Macaulay and I have been separated for a while now, and we’ve currently filed for divorce.”
2Baba further explained that he will release a formal statement soon, not because it is anyone’s business but because he wants to clear the air about his actions.
“I will grant a press release soon to share my story. Not because it is anyone’s right to know about my personal life but because I love my people and I need them to know my innocence or offense. Stay blessed, my people. I love you all,” he added.
The couple’s 12-year marriage has been in the public eye, particularly with claims of infidelity involving 2Baba.
2Baba’s extra-marital relationships
It will be recalled that Annie recently disclosed that she met 2Baba when she was a teenager, adding that he has been the only man she has ever been with.
However, she said even after their marriage, 2Baba fathered children with two other women.
Annie, in an emotional moment during the second season of the Young, Famous and African Netflix series, disclosed that after their marriage, her first child with 2Baba was his fifth.
2Baba has three children with Pero Adeniyi, his baby mama in the United States, and two children with another woman, Sumbo Ajaba.
Annie disclosed how she discovered 2Baba was still visiting his other baby mamas, especially Pero, and still having affairs with them.
The couple’s issues escalated when 2Baba openly stated that men, including himself, are “wired” to sleep with multiple women, even if they are married.
Annie in rehab
In the midst of all these, Annie’s mental health reportedly deteriorated.
Things escalated when she became a target of mockery on social media, with some netizens criticising her for staying in a marriage where 2Baba had destroyed her with toxicity.
Reports by popular Nigerian investigative journalist, Stella Dimoko Korkus, on Monday, January 27, 2025, disclosed that Annie has been admitted to rehab.
She also disclosed that insider information states that media personality Toke Makinwa and singer Tiwa Savage are reportedly taking care of Annie during this difficult time.
In a post that has since gone viral, Stella disclosed that Annie is in an extremely bad state.
