Legendary Nigerian singer Innocent “2Baba” Idibia has officially tied the knot traditionally with Honourable Natasha Osawaru, a serving Edo State lawmaker and granddaughter of the Esama of Benin. The ceremony took place in Benue State, blending Idoma and Edo cultural heritage.
The video capturing the ceremony has gone viral online, with a casual yet meaningful setting described as resembling a backyard wedding—intimate, modest, and deeply symbolic.
– On April 25, 2025, 2Baba and Natasha performed their traditional marriage rites. Footage shows Natasha clad in Idoma attire—her waist wrapped in an Idoma wrapper and face covered—before being warmly welcomed by 2Baba’s clan elders in Benue.
– Leading up to the ceremony, 2Baba formally introduced Natasha to his Idoma community leaders, securing blessings and approval from both sides.
– Mixed sentiments flooded social media after Natasha’s first Instagram post addressed to her new status—some users warmly welcomed her as “our wife,” while others harshly blamed her for 2Baba’s previous marriage ending.
– Nonetheless, the wedding trended nationwide, with fans praising its sincerity and nostalgic cultural resonance.
