Rose Idibia, the mother of singer 2Baba, has pleaded with Natasha Osawuru, the Edo lawmaker, to leave her son alone.
In a now-viral video, Rose begged Nigerians to intervene while asking Natasha to “remove the beads you placed on his hands and neck”.
The singer’s mother argued that he “is not in his right senses now” and that the ongoing split from his wife Annie Idibia has affected his mental health.
“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,” she said.
“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.”

Rose’s appeal came about 24 hours after 2Baba proposed to Osawaru. In viral footage, the singer was captured presenting the lawmaker with a ring on Wednesday evening and sealing their love with a long, tender embrace.
The ‘African Queen’ hitmaker had confirmed his relationship with Natasha and expressed his affection for the lawmaker.
2Baba described the lawmaker as a “young, brilliant, and amazing woman” who has been unfairly labeled as a “home breaker”.
He also argued that Natasha has nothing to do with his split from his wife.
Last month, the singer revealed that he and Annie had not been together for a while and were filing for divorce.
