Despite the backlash he has since received after announcing his breakup with Annie Idibia, 2Baba has confirmed a new relationship with the Deputy Majority Leader of Nigeria’s Edo State House of Assembly, Natasha Osawaru.
Prior to this revelation, rumours of their relationship had been circulating, with netizens even sharing photos revealing that the two had been involved for quite some time, even when 2Baba was still with Annie.
The rumours heightened on Monday, February 9, 2025, when 2Baba appeared at the Edo State House of Assembly during a plenary session.
Excerpts of videos from his presence at the assembly went viral, seeming to confirm his relationship with the politician.
In the wake of these speculations, 2Baba has taken to Instagram to confirm that he is indeed in a relationship with Natasha and even expressed his intention to marry her.
He shared a picture of Natasha and captioned it: “Now this is my world. Make una help me beg am to marry me.”
In a follow-up video, 2Baba addressed the situation, stating, “She has nothing to do with what’s happening between me and Annie. But I see everybody trying to allegedly rope her into everything. Yes, I love her. She is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her.”
He urged netizens to refrain from spreading claims that Natasha was the cause of his marital problems with Annie, emphasising that she is not responsible for the tension.
“I said what I said. All of us will be alright… Honourable Natasha, I see she has been dragged, called all sorts of names, and labelled as a homebreaker. She is a young, brilliant, and amazing woman,” he said.
Meanwhile, investigative journalist Stella Dimoko Korkus has reported that 2Baba and Natasha are expecting their first child together.
These developments have sparked massive reactions on social media, with condemnation and disappointment towards 2Baba growing steadily.
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.
