‘I want to marry her’ – Tuface opens up on affair with Edo lawmaker Natasha

Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as Tuface or 2Baba, has fueled speculation about his alleged romantic involvement with the Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, Natasha Osawaru.  

This comes in the wake of his reported breakup with his wife, Annie Macaulay.

While rumors of his relationship with Osawaru have been circulating, Tuface raised eyebrows on Monday when he made an unexpected appearance at the Edo State House of Assembly during plenary.

His presence at the Assembly left many social media users questioning the motive behind his visit.

While some speculated it was related to official matters, others saw it as a subtle confirmation of the rumored romance between the singer and the Edo lawmaker.

However, the legendary singer addressed the rumours in a video post on his Instagram handle early Wednesday morning.

Confirming his affection for the lawmaker, Tuface stated: “Yes, I love her. I want to marry her.”

He added: “I said what I said. All of us will be alright… Honourable Natasha, I see she has been dragged, she has been called all sorts of names. She has been labelled as a home breaker. She is a young, brilliant and amazing woman.”

The singer also said that his new love is not responsible for the marital tension between him and his wife, Annie.

“She has nothing to do with what’s happening between me and Annie. But I see everybody trying to allegedly want to rope her into everything. Yes, I love her. She is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her,” Tuface said.

In January, Tuface shocked the social media space when he announced that he and his wife Annie have been separated for a while and have filed for a divorce.

He had said: “Hello to my beautiful people of all federations. Well, this thing I have to say is short but also long. Annie Macaulay and I have been separated for a while and have filed for divorce.

“I would grant a press release soon to say my story not because it is anyone’s right to know about my personal life, but because I love my people, and I need them to know my innocence or offence. Stay blessed, my people. I love you all.”
