In other news, Popular comedian Ushbebe has appealed to Nigerians to offer heartfelt prayers for music icon 2Baba, who has recently been in the spotlight due to personal challenges.
2Baba, born Innocent Idibia, made headlines in February 2025 when he confirmed his separation from his wife of 13 years, Annie Macaulay. The news quickly drew public attention, especially after reports emerged that Annie had checked into a rehabilitation center to focus on her well-being.
Amid the unfolding events, it was also revealed that 2Baba had entered a new relationship with Natasha Osawarusu, a lawmaker from Edo State. The revelation sparked widespread reactions, particularly when Natasha updated her Instagram bio to include the surname “Idibia,” suggesting a deeper commitment between the two.
In light of the situation, Ushbebe joined others in expressing concern, emphasizing that 2Baba needs spiritual support during this trying time. The comedian highlighted that legends like 2Baba deserve to be uplifted, not torn down, and encouraged fellow Nigerians to keep the artist in their prayers.
