The carefully curated public image of Nigerian music icon 2Baba Idibia’s new chapter has been thrown into turmoil by a whirlwind of unverified and sensational reports emerging from London.
According to claims made by gossip blogger Tosin Silverdam, the legendary singer was allegedly arrested following a heated and very public altercation with his recently wedded wife, Natasha Osawaru, a member of the Edo State House of Assembly. This shocking allegation, if true, casts a long shadow over what was meant to be a celebratory period for the artist, coming just weeks after his landmark 50th birthday and in the midst of his wife’s first pregnancy.
The narrative, as pieced together from the unconfirmed report, suggests that discord began almost immediately upon the couple’s arrival in London.
The argument, allegedly initiated even as they were picked up by a taxi from the airport, reportedly escalated to a dramatic climax. The situation is said to have spiraled out of control, with Natasha Osawaru accused of breaking bottles during the confrontation, leading to police intervention and the subsequent alleged arrest of the music star.
The most immediate and tangible consequence of this incident was the apparent cancellation of 2Baba’s scheduled UK tour performance on October 2, 2025, with fans reportedly left disappointed as the headline act failed to appear.
This jarring account stands in stark contrast to the public persona the couple has recently projected. The news comes on the heels of what appeared to be a blissful honeymoon phase following their traditional marriage on July 25, 2025.
Just days before the alleged incident, for 2Baba’s 50th birthday on September 18, Natasha had publicly penned a heartfelt poem, lauding her husband as “the anthem of love, the melody of hope.”
This profound disconnect between the recent celebration and the current allegations has left fans and observers deeply confused, questioning the stability of a union that has been under intense public scrutiny from its inception.
It is crucial to emphasize that these reports remain unverified by official police statements or representatives for 2Baba. The story originates solely from a single gossip source and must be treated with extreme caution.
The allegations arrive at an intensely personal time for the couple, who are expecting their first child together. This developing story, whether founded in fact or fabrication, underscores the immense pressure facing the singer as he navigates a new marriage, impending fatherhood, and a high-profile career, all under the unrelenting glare of the public eye.
The truth behind the London incident remains to be seen, but it has undoubtedly introduced a discordant note into the melody of 2Baba’s carefully composed new life.
