The entertainment world has been buzzing for dags, and at the centre of the storm is Nigerian music legend, Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, and his wife, Natasha Osawaru. What began as a rumour has grown into one of the biggest celebrity controversies of 2025 —complete with leaked videos, conflicting statements, political fallout, and emotional outbursts live on social media.
Everything started on October 2, 2025, when 2Baba missed his scheduled concert in London. His absence immediately raised eyebrows, especially after reports emerged that he had been detained at the airport following a heated altercation with Natasha. According to his former manager, Kaka Igbokwe, who claimed to have been on the same flight; the trouble began when a crowd of fans pulled 2Baba aside, leaving Natasha behind. She reportedly felt ignored, and the misunderstanding escalated into a confrontation serious enough to involve airport security.
For months, 2Baba denied the story. He insisted he was never arrested and blamed the missed concert on what he described as a “medical emergency.” Natasha also appeared in a short video beside him at the time, urging the public to disregard the rumours. For a while, the issue died down.
But on December 1, everything resurfaced.
A viral video shared by a popular blogger showed what appeared to be UK police officers escorting 2Baba in handcuffs outside a London store. Within hours, the clip spread across Nigerian social media like wildfire. The public demanded answers, and the story took a dramatic turn when Kaka Igbokwe returned to publicly confirm that the incident truly happened contradicting 2Baba’s earlier denial.
From there, the situation spiraled even further. During a tense Instagram Live session hosted by Daddy Freeze, 2Baba and Natasha clashed again, with both raising their voices as accusations flew from different sides. Friends and former associates alleged deep cracks in the marriage from financial control to emotional strain while the couple struggled to defend themselves in real-time before thousands of viewers.
The issue has now gone beyond entertainment gossip. Natasha, who serves in the Edo State House of Assembly, was reportedly summoned by the House over the scandal and its impact on the institution’s public image. It’s rare for a celebrity-related matter to cross into political territory, and this alone shows how messy and far-reaching the situation has become.
Despite the chaos, one thing remains unclear: whether UK authorities officially recorded the case as an arrest. There has been no official confirmation from the London Metropolitan Police, leaving room for speculation. But with the resurfaced video, eyewitness claims, and contradictory statements, many Nigerians believe the truth is somewhere in the middle not completely denied, not fully confirmed.
What is certain, however, is that this saga has left a dent on both their public images. For 2Baba, a figure long respected for his calm persona and musical greatness, the incident is a painful reminder of how quickly a legacy can be shaken. For Natasha, the drama now sits beside her political responsibilities, drawing scrutiny she never bargained for.
As the dust continues to settle, the world watches to see what comes next: reconciliation, resolution, or more revelations. In the age of social media, nothing stays hidden for long and for celebrity couples, private battles can easily become global headlines.
