Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, widely known as 2Baba, was involved in a confrontation with his estranged wife, Natasha, at a public event in Abuja on Friday night, according to a report by the Media Talk Africa citing a senior member of the singer’s management team.
The incident occurred at the grand opening of Faze’s 90s Lounge, where 2Baba was scheduled to perform. The management source alleged that Natasha arrived at the venue accompanied by security personnel and other individuals described as thugs, and that the group attempted to abduct the artist. A physical confrontation ensued between the two parties, the source said.
The couple has been separated for more than two months, according to the same source. The precise trigger for the altercation remains unconfirmed. It is also unclear whether anyone was injured or arrested during the incident.
The Media Talk Africa reported that it could not independently verify the management team’s account. Efforts to obtain a response from Natasha or her representatives were unsuccessful as of press time.
The event, intended to celebrate the launch of the entertainment venue, drew attention to the ongoing personal dispute between the high-profile couple. 2Baba, a veteran of the Nigerian music industry with a career spanning over two decades, has faced public scrutiny over his marital affairs in recent months. Natasha, his partner of several years, has not publicly addressed the separation or the alleged incident.
Law enforcement authorities have not issued a statement regarding the matter. The absence of an official police report or comment from either party’s legal team leaves the sequence of events subject to conflicting narratives.
Observers note that the incident underscores the challenges public figures face when private disputes spill into public spaces. The involvement of private security and the allegation of attempted abduction, if proven, could carry serious legal implications for all parties involved.
Media Talk Africa will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as verified information becomes available.
