2Face speaks on relationship with Edo lawmaker

Popular music legend, Innocent Idibia, professionally known as 2Face, has announced his romantic relationship with Edo State lawmaker, Natasha Osawaru.

This revelation comes shortly after his separation from his wife Annie Idibia, with 2Baba stating his intention to take things further with Osawaru.

A surprise appearance at the Edo State House of Assembly during plenary on Monday intensified speculation, especially after a video of them at a Lagos nightclub also surfaced.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, in a video post captioned “To Whom It May kwansighn. #I don yarn my truth. Feel free to continue alleging. We shall all be alright,” 2Baba addressed the swirling rumours, denying that Osawaru played any role in his split with Annie.

He said, “Allegedly, I have been seeing so many things, so many people coming up with their own false narratives and malicious nonsense after I posted that stuff that I posted. Yes, I posted what I posted.

“Hon. Natasha has been dragged, she has been called all sorts of names, she has been labelled as a home breaker.

“She is a young brilliant amazing woman and she had nothing to do with what is happening between me and Annie in our marriage.”

He continued, “Yes I love her, she is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her.”

Natasha’s name quickly became the top-trending topic on X by Wednesday morning as social media exploded with reactions.
