2Baba reacts to reported arrest in UK after alleged fight with Natasha

Afrobeats legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has dismissed circulating claims that he was arrested in the United Kingdom following an alleged altercation with his new wife, Natasha Osawaru.

Reports in social media  had suggested that police were called after a heated exchange between the couple shortly after their arrival for the singer’s UK tour. Silverdam alleged that the situation escalated at their hotel, with bottles said to have been thrown during the confrontation.

2Baba and Natasha reportedly landed in the UK on Thursday, October 2, 2025, for the first leg of his tour scheduled to begin that same day.

However, addressing the rumours in a social media video, the music icon — who recently marked his 50th birthday — explained that his absence from the show was due to a medical emergency, not a domestic dispute.

In the clip, 2Baba appeared alongside Natasha and another man in what looked like a studio setting, as the trio laughed off the claims.

The man in the video was heard saying, “Oh boy, they have alleged.”

2Baba replied, “Please, if you don’t know anything, don’t talk. I am tired of this allegedly.

“We had a medical emergency. It was tough. To the show organisers and everybody that came out, I appreciate you. We go regroup and make something beautiful happen.”
