‘African Queen’ sets the mood as Natasha’s mum celebrates birthday with 2Baba and daughter by her side (VIDEO)

Nigerian music icon, Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, made a graceful appearance alongside his wife, Natasha Osawaru, at her mother’s birthday celebration amid growing concern from some of the singer’s relatives.

A video from the event captured the heartwarming moment Natasha’s mother sang and danced along to 2Baba’s timeless hit, African Queen, while seated beside the couple at a family table.

In the widely circulated Instagram reel, Natasha and 2Baba appear in good spirits as they sit next to the celebrant, who is visibly delighted as the classic love ballad plays.

She is seen singing the lyrics, moving gently to the rhythm, and smiling throughout—a moment fans have described as wholesome and culturally touching.

However, the family gathering comes at a time of rising tension between 2Baba’s inner circle and his new wife. Just days before the video surfaced, a relative of the singer, Charles Idibia—also known as Charlybrave—publicly accused Natasha Osawaru of being controlling and manipulative.

In a post that drew wide reactions on social media, Charles warned 2Baba to “wake up,” expressing concern over the singer’s wellbeing and alleging that Natasha was isolating him from his family and long-time associates.

In a follow-up report, some family members stated that 2Baba’s sudden change in behavior and distancing from close relatives coincided with his relationship with Natasha.

One family insider reportedly said, “This whole matter is becoming more worrisome for us. This is not the 2Baba we know.” The accusations have intensified the spotlight on the couple’s union, with fans and commentators divided over the nature of Natasha’s role in the singer’s life.

Despite the controversy, 2Baba and Natasha appeared united at her mother’s birthday celebration. The singer’s presence was calm and affectionate, standing as a contrast to the narrative of turmoil brewing behind the scenes.

Many fans interpreted the family moment, especially the celebrant’s joyful singalong to African Queen, as symbolic of peace, unity, and mutual respect.

Still, the shadow of familial distrust looms, as public attention continues to follow both 2Baba’s professional and personal moves.

Whether the birthday video marks a moment of calm in an otherwise tense environment or a sign of resilience in the face of criticism, the scene has undoubtedly struck a chord with fans watching both the music legend and his evolving story.
