Legendary Nigerian musician Innocent ‘2Face’ Idibia has publicly acknowledged his relationship with Edo State House of Assembly member, Honorable Natasha Osawaru, ending weeks of speculation about his romantic life. The confirmation comes through a candid Instagram video where the singer expressed his love and marriage intentions toward the politician.
2Face, addressing the swirling rumors that have dominated social media, emphasized that his new relationship with Osawaru played no role in the dissolution of his marriage to Annie Idibia. The artist described Osawaru as a “young and brilliant woman,” while asserting that there exists an understanding between him and his estranged wife Annie regarding their separation.
The music icon’s romantic revelation follows his shocking announcement last month about separating from Annie Idibia, his wife of over a decade. His latest statement appears to be responding to widespread speculation about the timeline of his new relationship, particularly after popular blogger Cutie Julls first unveiled the connection between 2Face and the Edo lawmaker.
Adding another layer to the unfolding story, recent footage emerged showing 2Face including Osawaru in family activities, particularly during a retreat with his sons from former relationship with Sunmbo Adeoye. This integration of his new romance with family life has sparked considerable public interest and discussion.
The timing of these developments has drawn attention to 2Face’s recent public appearances, notably his performance at the 65th Anniversary and Mega Reunion of Christ Apostolic Grammar School Old Students Association. During this event, he had made cryptic remarks about his relationship status, suggesting he was “still searching” while Annie was “at home,” a statement that now appears more significant in light of recent developments.
In his characteristic style, 2Face’s announcement included a touch of his familiar humor and musical promotion, as he wrapped his personal revelation with details about an upcoming dance challenge for his new song “Kukugoogleam.” He promised prizes for the most creative dance interpretations, to be judged by notable industry figures including Poco Lee, Donflexx, and Larry Gaaga.
The artist’s recent transparency marks a significant shift in how he handles his personal life in the public eye. While previous relationships and controversies often played out through media speculation and unnamed sources, 2Face has chosen to address this new chapter in his life directly, perhaps signaling a new approach to managing his public image.
His statement, “I said what I said. Everyone is going to be alright,” suggests a confident stance in his decisions while acknowledging the public interest in his personal life. The artist also made a lighthearted reference to public scrutiny, mentioning his expectation of “10% commission from all u perfect people that have been alleging.
Industry observers note that this public confirmation could mark the beginning of a new chapter not only in 2Face’s personal life but also in his professional journey. The artist’s ability to maintain his musical relevance while navigating personal transitions has been a hallmark of his decades-long career in the Nigerian music industry.
The situation continues to evolve, with fans and media outlets eagerly awaiting further developments in this high-profile relationship. As one of Nigeria’s most celebrated musicians, 2Face’s personal life decisions inevitably attract significant public attention, making this latest chapter in his story a topic of widespread discussion across social media platforms and entertainment circles.
