Veteran Nigerian music superstar Innocent Idibia, widely known as 2Face or 2Baba, and Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru have welcomed their first child together a baby boy.
The arrival of the couple’s son was officially confirmed by Osawaru on her Facebook page, sparking an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans, colleagues, and well-wishers across social media.
Speculation about the birth had begun circulating early Friday after Osawaru was spotted at a hospital, fueling rumours that she might already be in labour. The lawmaker’s announcement quickly put the speculation to rest, with her post expressing gratitude for the blessing.
“This morning, we have been blessed with a baby boy,” Osawaru wrote, sharing the joyous news with her followers. Within hours, the post had amassed hundreds of comments and reactions, with social media users flooding the couple with congratulations and prayers for health and happiness.
2Baba, a celebrated figure in the Nigerian music industry, has been lauded for his contributions to Afrobeat and contemporary Nigerian music over the past two decades. The singer, known for hits like African Queen and Amaka, has a long-standing reputation not only as a musical icon but also as a philanthropist and advocate for youth empowerment.
Natasha Osawaru, a member of the Edo State House of Assembly, has carved a reputation in Nigerian politics for her dedication to her constituents and her focus on youth and women’s development initiatives. The couple’s union had been a topic of public interest since they were first linked romantically, and the arrival of their son is seen as a significant milestone in their personal lives.
Fans and fellow celebrities alike have taken to platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to share messages of celebration. Among those congratulating the couple were musicians, politicians, and public figures, highlighting the couple’s influence in both entertainment and political spheres.
While the baby’s name has not yet been publicly revealed, the announcement has sparked widespread excitement, with many eager to see how the child will be welcomed into Nigeria’s celebrity landscape.
