Natasha Osawaru omits 2Baba's surname in assembly session

Natasha Osawaru, a member of the Edo State House of Assembly representing Egor Constituency and serving as the minority leader, has generated speculation regarding her marriage to Nigerian music star Innocent Idibia, known as 2Baba. During a plenary session on Tuesday, she introduced herself as “Honourable Natasha Irobosa Osawaru,” omitting her husband's surname, Idibia.

This introduction, captured in a video shared on her Instagram, contrasts with her previous self-identification in April 2025, when she referred to herself as “Honourable Natasha Irobosa Osawaru, née Idibia.” The omission has led to public interest and discussions about the couple's relationship status, especially following Natasha's absence from 2Baba's 51st birthday celebration and album listening party. While her focus during the session was on a bill for improving emergency response in Edo State, the choice of surname has prompted questions about its significance, although neither party has confirmed any separation.
