Rose Idibia, mother of legendary Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2face, has made a heartfelt appeal for Nigerians to help her beg Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawuru to release her son from her influence.
In a viral video shared Thursday evening, Mrs. Idibia expressed concern that 2face is not in the right state of mind due to his ongoing divorce from his estranged wife, Annie Idibia.
“Good evening, Nigerians. My name is Mrs. Rose Idibia, the mother of 2face. This message is for Miss Natasha Osawaru of Edo State. I’m calling on all mothers in Nigeria to help me beg her to free my son. My son is going through a divorce process, and he is clearly not in his right senses now. I know my son well. That is not him.
Please Natasha, the beads you put on his hand and on his neck, remove them and free him,” she pleaded.
This emotional plea comes just hours after 2face proposed to Osawuru in a widely circulated video. The footage shows the singer and the lawmaker dancing closely, surrounded by friends, before 2face presented her with an engagement ring, sealing the moment with a long embrace.
The unexpected proposal follows 2face’s recent announcement of his separation from Annie Idibia, which had already sparked intense speculation on social media.
Rumors of a relationship between 2face and Osawuru intensified after the singer was spotted at the Edo State Assembly and later seen with Osawuru at a popular Lagos club.
In an Instagram video on Tuesday, the African Queen crooner addressed the growing speculation, defending Osawuru from backlash.
“Allegedly, I have seen so many things, so many people coming up with their own false narratives and malicious nonsense after I posted that stuff that I posted. Yes, I posted what I posted.
Hon. Natasha has been dragged, she has been called all sorts of names, she has been labelled as a home breaker.
She is a young, brilliant, amazing woman, and she had nothing to do with what is happening between me and Annie in our marriage. Yes, I love her, she is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her,” 2face clarified.
