Music legend Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia and his fiancée, Natasha Osawaru, an Edo State House of Assembly member, have set tongues wagging with their intimate traditional wedding in Abuja. The ‘African Queen’ star, who has been a media mainstay since parting ways with his wife of 12 years, Annie Macaulay, in January, continues to captivate the public alongside his new love.
According to reports from PREMIUM TIMES, the couple’s private ceremony took place over the weekend at the elegant Signature House, opposite El-Amin School in Maitama, Abuja. Attended by a select group of close friends and family, the event was kept under wraps, with no official confirmation from the couple’s social media accounts. However, vibrant photos and videos circulating online showcase the pair in resplendent traditional attire, exuding joy and sporting stylish sunglasses.
One striking video clip revealed a backdrop proclaiming, “Welcome to our wedding – Innocent & Natasha,” while a magnificent multi-tiered cake, adorned with bride-and-groom figurines in traditional dress, stole the show. The viral footage has sparked a flurry of excitement and speculation across social media, with fans sharing mixed reactions to the couple’s nuptials.
The wedding comes just two months after 2Baba, currently serving as Governor Hyacinth Alia’s Technical Adviser on Entertainment and Community Outreach in Benue State, introduced Natasha to the elders of the Idoma Kingdom in a traditional rite. Dressed in cultural finery, Natasha, who has adopted ‘Idibia’ as her surname, was presented to 2Baba’s mother, Rose Idibia, in a symbolic gesture cementing their union.
2Baba’s whirlwind year has kept him in the headlines, from his high-profile separation and engagement to Natasha in February, to a string of public appearances, a management team overhaul, and a candid interview followed by a public apology. The couple’s love story, which began with 2Baba’s heartfelt Instagram post declaring his love for Natasha just 16 days after announcing his split, culminated in a romantic Valentine’s Eve proposal.
As the newlyweds embark on their journey together, fans continue to buzz with excitement, eagerly awaiting further glimpses into their love story. Congratulations to 2Baba and Natasha on their beautiful union!
