2Baba (real name Innocent Idibia) has been spotted shopping again alongside new lover Natasha Osawaru, a member of Edo Assembly, who seems to be on holiday from lawmaking to show off with the now divorced singer and celebrity.
Annie, an actress and reality TV star who has reverted to Macaulay her maiden name, says she is taking things easy after the initial uproar that greeted 2Baba’s announcement of their separation early this year and subsequent declaration of love for Natasha, a lawyer and fashionista, saying “I love her …. I want to marry her.”
After Natasha graduated in law from Igbinedion University in Edo, she earned a Master’s degree in fashion/apparel design from Parsons School of Design, New York.
Upon her return to Nigeria, she joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), got elected into the Edo Assembly in 2023 and became its Deputy Majority Leader.
She has been caught on tape in a clothes store casually asking 2Baba when the wedding dress would be ready.
Natasha, 30, is clearly enamoured with 2Baba, 49, despite his mother Rose Idibia sending out an SOS about two months ago imploring Nigerians to help rescue him from the lady Rose alleged bewitched him.
However, theirs seems to be a meeting of hearts, and both have upscaled the relationship since the guy publicly declared his love for her and even visited the Edo Assembly in session to prove his point.
And it does not appear that Natasha is pursuing 2Baba for his fame and/or money, being from a wealthy family as the granddaughter of billionaire Gabriel Igbinedion, founder of defunct Okada Air, whose son, Lucky, was Edo Governor for two terms.
A viral video on social media captured 2Baba and Natasha visiting Vodi’s store in Abuja, where they were warmly received by proprietor and renowned fashion designer Oluwaseyi Adekunle, popularly known as Seyi Vodi, clothier to celebrities.
“Came shopping. Wearing this to parliament on Monday,” Natasha whooped in delight in the video.
In February, 2Baba accompanied her to a hair store at a time there were concerns by his family over his whereabouts.
His family filed a petition with the Department of State Services (DSS), alleging he had gone missing, only for him to be spotted with Natasha in Abuja.
That came after Rose made a public plea to Natasha urging her to stay away from her son, especially since his divorce from Annie was yet to be finalised.
“Good evening, Nigerians. My name is Mrs Rose Idibia, and this message is for Ms Natasha Osawaru of Edo State. I’m calling on all mothers in Nigeria to help me beg her to release or free my son (2Baba),” Rose posted on social media.
“My son is going through a divorce process, and he’s clearly not in his right senses now. I know my son, this isn’t him. Please, Natasha, the beads you put on his hand and his neck, remove them and free him.”
Natasha riposted on social media that she did not bewitch 2Baba, adding that the beads are her precious family inheritance he fancied and willingly picked up and adorned himself with.
