Renowned Nigerian music icon, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has set social media abuzz following a public declaration of his intent to marry Edo State lawmaker, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. The unexpected revelation was made during a recent appearance at the Edo State House of Assembly, where the legendary singer openly expressed his admiration and commitment to the female politician.
The moment quickly gained traction on various social media platforms, with clips of the declaration going viral on Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn. In the video circulating online, 2Baba, known for his smooth-talking charm and deep-rooted influence in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, can be heard making the shocking statement in front of lawmakers and other attendees. His declaration was met with a mixture of laughter, applause, and surprise, as many were left wondering whether the announcement was serious or a lighthearted jest.
Following the news, social media erupted with mixed reactions. Some fans praised 2Baba’s boldness, applauding him for celebrating love and showing interest in a woman of power and influence. Others, however, questioned whether the statement was a playful remark or a genuine declaration of intent.
On X, netizens engaged in heated debates:
“Tuface no go gree for anybody. From music to politics, baba still dey make moves!” – @NaijaGistHub
“Annie Idibia fit don faint by now.” – @OmoEdo1
“So 2Baba wants to add a politician to his empire? The man no dey tire?” – @LegitPaddy
Meanwhile, Facebook and Instagram users shared memes and humorous reactions, with some recalling 2Baba’s well-known history of relationships and fathering multiple children. LinkedIn discussions, on the other hand, took a more professional approach, with analysts discussing the implications of such a high-profile connection between entertainment and politics.
As of now, Hon. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who currently serves as a senator representing Kogi Central, has not made any official comment regarding 2Baba’s declaration. However, some eagle-eyed social media users noticed that she liked a few related posts on Instagram, sparking speculations that she might not be entirely indifferent to the situation.
2Baba, who has been legally married to actress and entrepreneur Annie Idibia since 2012, is no stranger to making headlines about his love life. Over the years, he has been linked with multiple women, including Pero Adeniyi and Sumbo Ajaba, with whom he shares children. His marriage to Annie has been tumultuous at times, with past controversies, family disputes, and social media dramas playing out in the public eye.
While many believe 2Baba’s statement was a joke, others speculate that he may be setting the stage for something bigger. Could this be an actual proposal in the making, or was it merely a playful remark blown out of proportion?
As the story continues to unfold, fans and media outlets remain on high alert, awaiting a potential response from Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan or further clarifications from 2Baba himself.
