Nigeria’s entertainment world has been thrown into turmoil following explosive allegations made by two of 2Baba Idibia’s former managers, who claim the iconic singer is now in a “deeply troubled and dangerous situation” under the influence of his wife, Natasha Osawaru.
The revelations, made during a live discussion with media personality Daddy Freeze, have ignited widespread concern and raised serious questions about the wellbeing of the award-winning artiste.
The Shocking Accusations Begin
Kaka, one of 2Baba’s former managers, delivered the most damning account of all. Speaking emotionally, he claimed that both 2Baba and Natasha have been engaged in drug abuse, alleging that the couple’s escalating dependency has severely damaged the singer’s career, mental health, and public image.
According to Kaka and another ex-manager who joined the conversation, Natasha’s influence over 2Baba has shifted from personal to dangerously controlling — to the point where she allegedly determines his financial decisions, restricts his professional engagements, and isolates him from long-trusted allies.
“She Attacks Him — We Saw It Happen”
The former managers did not stop at allegations of drug abuse. In what they described as “painful truths we can no longer hide,” both men claimed to have witnessed multiple incidents of physical violence, saying Natasha had repeatedly attacked 2Baba in private and sometimes even in the presence of others.
They insist that the violence was not isolated but rather part of a pattern of coercive control, emotional manipulation, and intimidation.
“We saw her hit him. We saw her lash out violently. It happened many times,” one of the managers said.
“She wants total control — not love, not partnership — control.”
Career Sabotage Allegations
The managers also accused Natasha of deliberately working against 2Baba’s artistic growth, alleging that she blocks professional opportunities, shuts doors on long-time collaborators, and pushes him into public scenes that further harm his image.
According to them, she allegedly controls his phone, monitors communication, and makes major decisions regarding his bookings, finances, and public appearances.
Viral Videos Add Fuel to the Fire
The allegations came shortly after disturbing videos circulated on social media, showing 2Baba and Natasha in heated confrontations in public spaces. One clip, reportedly filmed in the UK, appeared to show the singer being led away by police officers after an argument with his wife escalated.
Though the details of the incident remain unclear, it significantly intensified public speculation about the state of their marriage.
Alleged Evidence of Drug Abuse Surfaces
In a further twist, additional claims emerged showing disturbing scenes reportedly linked to the couple’s private struggles. According to insiders who sent images and descriptions to bloggers, the apartment where 2Baba and Natasha recently lodged in an upscale area of Lagos was left “in a shocking condition resembling a drug den.”
Items allegedly found at the scene include:
-
Igbo (marijuana) residue scattered around
-
Cocaine traces described as “rich man’s white powder”
-
‘Pent’ injection kits, often associated with heavy substance abuse
-
Bloodstains, allegedly from injection sites
-
Razors used for rolling and preparing substances
Witnesses claimed that 2Baba consumed more marijuana and alcohol, while Natasha allegedly took heavier substances.
These claims, though unverified, have sparked deep concern among fans who fear the beloved singer may be spiraling under pressure, addiction, and manipulation.
A Public Cry for Help
Kaka and his fellow manager insist that their decision to speak out was not for clout, revenge, or publicity but a last-resort intervention after witnessing what they described as a steady decline in 2Baba’s wellbeing.
“We worked with him for years. We saw how disciplined, focused, and hardworking he was. What we see now is not the 2Baba we knew,” one said.
“If Nigerians don’t speak up, we may lose him.”
Their plea has sparked a national conversation on celebrity vulnerability, mental health, toxic relationships, and drug abuse within the entertainment industry.
2Baba Yet to Respond
As of the time of this report, 2Baba has not publicly addressed the allegations, fueling further speculation about the state of his personal life and career.
Natasha has also remained silent, though close associates have privately dismissed the claims as “exaggerated and malicious,” promising that she may address the matter soon.
A Troubled Marriage Under the Spotlight
The couple’s relationship has been controversial from the start, with periods of public affection followed by sudden bursts of online drama and accusations.
Industry insiders say many people who previously remained silent may now feel pressured to speak up, especially if the scandal continues to escalate.
What Happens Next?
This developing story raises serious concerns:
-
Does 2Baba need intervention from close family, colleagues, and professional counselors?
-
Are the allegations credible or part of an ongoing internal dispute?
-
Has substance abuse become a silent crisis affecting some of Nigeria’s biggest stars?
-
How much control does Natasha truly have over the singer’s finances and day-to-day life?
For now, fans remain hopeful that 2Baba — one of Africa’s most beloved musical icons — will find the support, clarity, and protection he needs amid what appears to be one of the darkest chapters of his personal life.
