Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face (2Baba), has officially proposed to Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru in a moment that has set social media abuzz.

A viral video, which surfaced on Thursday, captures the emotional proposal, showing 2Face and Osawaru dancing together before he presents her with an engagement ring, drawing cheers from onlookers. The couple then embraced warmly, sealing the moment in what is now one of the most talked-about celebrity engagements in Nigeria.

The Build-Up to the Proposal

The proposal comes just a day after 2Face publicly confirmed his romantic relationship with Osawaru, following speculation that had been circulating for weeks.

• The development follows 2Face’s recent separation from his wife, Annie Idibia, whom he married in 2012.
• Fans first noticed growing closeness between 2Face and Osawaru when the singer visited the Edo State Assembly and was later seen with her at a club in Lagos.
• The rumors gained further traction after the two were spotted together at multiple events, leading many to speculate that a relationship was developing.

2Face Defends Osawaru Against Criticism

The engagement announcement has ignited widespread debate on social media, with many fans and critics sharing their opinions on the singer’s new relationship.

Amid backlash, 2Face took to Instagram on Tuesday to defend Osawaru against accusations of being a “homebreaker.”

In his statement, he expressed his deep admiration for Osawaru while clarifying that his marriage to Annie Idibia had already ended before his relationship with the lawmaker began.

“Hon. Natasha has been dragged and called all sorts of names,” 2Face wrote.
“She is a young, brilliant, amazing woman and had nothing to do with what happened between me and Annie. Yes, I love her, and I want to marry her.”

His statement sought to dismiss speculation that Osawaru played a role in his separation from Annie, who has yet to publicly respond to the engagement news.

Social Media Reactions: Mixed Responses from Fans and Critics

As expected, the proposal has divided public opinion:

• Some supporters applaud 2Face for moving on and finding love again.
• Critics accuse him of disrespecting his ex-wife, Annie Idibia, by making his new romance public so soon after their separation.
• Some question the political implications of a celebrity-lawmaker relationship.

What’s Next for 2Face and Natasha Osawaru?

With the engagement now public, many are wondering when the couple will officially tie the knot. While no wedding date has been announced, fans are keeping a close watch on their next steps.

As the social media debate continues, one thing is clear—2Face’s personal life remains as captivating as his legendary music career.
