1. 2Baba Bows Out of Anti-Buhari Protest in 2017
In January 2017, 2Baba announced his intention to lead a nationwide protest on February 5 against President Muhammadu Buhari’s economic policies. The announcement gained widespread attention and support on social media.
However, after the Lagos State Police warned that the protest could be hijacked by miscreants, 2Baba pulled out, citing safety concerns in a video announcement.
Rumours quickly circulated that he was arrested and pressured by authorities to cancel, but the singer denied being detained, stating the decision was his alone.
2. Annie Idibia Accuses 2Baba of Infidelity in 2021
On September 2, 2021, Nollywood actress Annie Idibia publicly called out 2Baba on Instagram, accusing him of cheating with his baby mama, Pero Adeniyi.
She alleged that he was secretly spending nights with Pero under the guise of taking their kids on a trip to Disney.
The scandal escalated when 2Baba’s brother, Charles Idibia, defended the singer and accused Annie of bringing private family matters to social media and trying to control him.
3. 2Baba and Annie’s Marriage Crumbles in 2025
On January 26, 2025, 2Baba surprised fans with an Instagram post announcing his separation from Annie Idibia.
He stated that they had mutually agreed to part ways while continuing to co-parent their children.
Many initially suspected his account was hacked, but 2Baba later released a video confirming the announcement.
He deleted all posts related to the separation and removed family content from his page shortly after. Later, he went public with his new partner, Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru, eventually proposing and marrying her despite online backlash.
4. 2Baba’s Mother Publicly Pleads with Natasha
On February 14, 2025, a viral video showed 2Baba’s mother, Rose Idibia, appealing to Natasha Osawaru to leave her son.
She claimed 2Baba was emotionally unstable due to his ongoing separation from Annie.
This came shortly after 2Baba was seen proposing to Natasha at a private event. Despite the buzz, he later confirmed their relationship and clarified that Natasha had no role in his failed marriage.
During a July 1, 2025, episode of the 234 Mzansi Podcast hosted by Nedu Wazobia, 2Baba sparked outrage by claiming that men are not biologically designed to remain sexually faithful to one woman.
He argued that a man could deeply love and respect one woman while still struggling with sexual exclusivity due to biology.
The statement ignited intense backlash online, with critics accusing him of endorsing infidelity.
In response to the criticism, 2Baba issued a public apology to his wife, children, and fans, stating that he never intended to cause harm with his words.
