Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia is Nigerian music legend
Nigerian music legend Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia has raised the alarm over what he described as a dangerous campaign by some family members and associates to distort his image, sabotage his relationships and portray him as mentally unstable.
In a video released online, the veteran singer said he could no longer remain silent as the situation had escalated beyond normal family differences.
“I’m okay. I’m perfectly normal. Please stop painting me as mentally unstable,” he said.
2Baba alleged that the same pattern of interference that affected his marriage to Annie Idibia was now being directed at his partner, Natasha, who he said is receiving death threats.
“My family destroyed my marriage with Annie. Now they are after Natasha,” he claimed.
“Natasha is getting death threats right now. This has gotten dangerously out of hand.”
He expressed frustration that the people claiming to be helping him were instead putting him and Natasha in danger.
“You say you’re trying to save me, but you’re killing me. You’re killing us,” he said.
“I’m a grown man, and I have the right to be with who I want to be with.”
The singer insisted he is fine and active, noting that he recently performed in Abuja and has been seen publicly by fans.
“Everybody has been seeing me out there. Anybody who has eyes knows I’m okay,” he said.
Condemning alleged lies and fabrications being spread about him, 2Baba said the situation has become unbearable.
“What my family is doing—fabricating so many lies… It has become so dangerous. It’s not funny anymore. I’m totally devastated,” he lamented.
He appealed for the attacks and threats to stop, urging the public and his relatives to respect his privacy and personal choices.
“Please, just stay out of my private and personal life. Just let us be,” he pleaded.
2Baba hinted that he will speak more openly in the coming days, saying he has endured enough.
“I’m not going to be quiet anymore,” he said.
“In the next couple of days, I’m going to speak a whole lot of truth.”
