Many fans interpreted the post as an indication that the family had become actively involved and increasingly worried about the unfolding situation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, the Edo State House of Assembly has reportedly summoned Natasha to appear before it following allegations that her conduct had brought public disrepute to the institution. Lawmakers were said to have expressed dissatisfaction with her recent public conduct, stating that it fell below expectations of a serving lawmaker.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were reports that members of 2Baba\u2019s family had written a petition to the Inspector-General of Police over the status of the singer\u2019s marriage, claiming he is still legally married to Annie Idibia and questioning the legitimacy of his union with Natasha. However, no official confirmation or response from the police regarding the alleged petition has been made public as of the time of filing this report.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Responding to the growing controversy, 2Baba released a viral video in which he accused some members of his family of fueling the crisis rather than resolving it, insisting he did not need to be \u201crescued\u201d from his marriage.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis whole thing has gotten dangerously out of hand. I am not just going to be quiet anymore. I feel I have to say some facts here. I am a grown man and I believe I have the right to be with whoever I want,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cMy family, under the pretext of trying to save me, has actually destroyed me and has killed someone\u2019s daughter\u2019s character. Natasha is getting death threats right now,\u201d the singer added.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Admitting that he and his wife had experienced disagreements, 2Baba insisted such was normal in any marriage and warned that external interference had made the situation more dangerous.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cFine, we have had our quarrels, but who doesn\u2019t quarrel with their spouse? This is getting out of hand. I am perfectly okay. I just did my show recently in Abuja and many people were there,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHow do you say you want to save me but you are the one messing the whole thing up? This is unacceptable and it is unfair.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The singer further accused his family of using the same approach in his past relationship with Annie Idibia, stating that repeated interference had worsened personal conflicts rather than resolving them.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI have the right to be with whoever I want. I am not a child. I have always been a peaceful person, but this has become too much,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fallout has sparked intense debate on social media, with fans deeply divided between those calling on the family to step back and those demanding greater intervention to ensure the safety and stability of everyone involved.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the drama continues to unfold, it remains uncertain whether the Idibia family will emerge from the crisis united or further fractured.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Oscar Okhifo Nigerian music icon, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has broken his silence over the escalating tensions in his marriage to Natasha Osawaru, accusing certain family members&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":124253,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-124252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
