Veteran Nigerian singer and entrepreneur 2Face Idibia, born Innocent Ujah Idibia, has once again found himself at the center of public discourse after announcing his intention to marry Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru, even as his much-publicized divorce from his wife of 12 years, Annie Macaulay, remains in progress. The revelation has sent shockwaves across social media, fueling intense debate, speculation, and heated reactions from fans and critics alike.
The 49-year-old Afrobeats legend, no stranger to controversy, has taken a firm stance in defense of Natasha, urging the public not to vilify her or label her a “homewrecker.” In a now-deleted Instagram post, he clarified that she was not responsible for his decision to dissolve his marriage to Annie, best known for her role in the Netflix reality series Young, Famous & African. Despite the backlash, he has remained vocal about his admiration for Natasha, even going so far as to publicly propose to her via social media.
In a heartfelt video shared on his Instagram page, the African Queen hitmaker openly professed his love for Natasha, making his romantic intentions crystal clear.
“Yes, I love her, and I want to marry her,” he declared.
Shortly afterward, he doubled down on his commitment, sharing another video where he referred to Natasha as “his world” and urged his fans to help persuade her to accept his marriage proposal.
“Now, this is my world. Make una help me beg am to marry me,” he pleaded, adding that Natasha was a “young, brilliant, and amazing” woman.
His posts, though swiftly deleted, ignited a frenzy across social media, with thousands of netizens weighing in on his unexpected declaration. Many criticized his approach, calling it insensitive to Annie, while others questioned the timing of his proposal given that his divorce had not yet been finalized.
As speculation and gossip spiraled out of control, 2Face took the opportunity to clarify the state of his relationship with Annie. He emphasized that the two were parting ways on amicable terms and that there was no ongoing conflict between them. He urged fans and the media to avoid spreading misinformation, reassuring everyone that Annie was doing well despite the separation.
“Everybody’s going to be alright, everybody’s fine. Natasha has nothing to do with what’s happening between me and Annie,” he stated.
Refuting rumors of infidelity and betrayal, 2Face dismissed allegations that Natasha was responsible for his marital breakdown.
“Natasha has been labeled a homewrecker—she’s a young, brilliant, amazing woman… I love her, she’s full of life, and I want to marry her. She had nothing to do with what happened between me and Annie. Me and Annie do not fight or quarrel; we have a good understanding of what is going on. We don’t need anybody to tell us,” he added.
Despite his reassurances, the controversy surrounding his relationship with Natasha has only intensified. Many fans, particularly those sympathetic to Annie, have accused 2Face of disrespecting his estranged wife by making such public declarations before their divorce was finalized.
2Face’s revelation comes amidst a period of ongoing tension between him and Annie. The couple’s relationship, once considered one of the most admired in the Nigerian entertainment industry, has steadily unraveled over the years. Their marital issues—often marred by accusations of infidelity, emotional turmoil, and external influences—have frequently played out in the tabloids and on social media.
While Annie has not yet publicly responded to 2Face’s recent statements, reports suggest that she has been struggling to cope with the end of their marriage. The actress and media personality has previously spoken about the difficulties of being married to a high-profile musician, particularly one with a history of complex relationships.
For years, Annie has been candid about her emotional struggles, especially given that 2Face has children with multiple women outside their marriage. In past interviews and on Young, Famous & African, she has expressed feelings of heartbreak, insecurity, and frustration over the challenges that came with their union.
With 2Face now openly pursuing a relationship with Natasha Osawaru, many are left wondering what the future holds for the legendary singer. His swift transition from a failing marriage to a public marriage proposal has left many questioning whether his actions are driven by love or impulse.
Critics argue that his approach has been reckless, particularly in the way he has handled the public announcement of his newfound love. Some believe that his declarations, rather than being romantic, have come across as dismissive of Annie’s feelings and the years they spent together.
On the other hand, supporters of 2Face have defended his right to move on and find happiness, insisting that as long as his divorce is being handled amicably, he should be free to pursue love without interference.
Regardless of public opinion, one thing is certain—2Face’s personal life continues to be a subject of widespread interest, and his latest romantic chapter is bound to keep social media buzzing for weeks to come.
