Tuface deletes love post on Natasha amid backlash

Nigerian music icon, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as Tuface, has deleted a controversial love post about Edo State Deputy Majority Leader, Natasha Osawaru, following intense criticism from social media users.
The singer sparked outrage after posting a video on Instagram where he publicly expressed his affection for Natasha and addressed speculations about their relationship. This comes amid his widely discussed marital troubles with his wife, Annie Idibia.
In the now-deleted video, Tuface defended Natasha, who is the granddaughter of billionaire Gabriel Igbinedion, stating that she had no involvement in his marital issues.
“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. 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.
“Yes, I love her. She is amazing, she is cool. I want to marry her,” he declared.
His statement triggered mixed reactions online, with many criticizing the 49-year-old father of six for making such a declaration barely two weeks after announcing his separation from Annie.
Amid the backlash, Tuface eventually bowed to pressure and deleted the video, but the controversy surrounding his remarks continues to dominate discussions on social media.
