Six Months After Annie Split, Veteran Singer Starts New Chapter with Stunning Edo-Style Wedding
Nigerian music legend 2Baba has begun a new chapter in his love life, exchanging vows with Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru in an intimate traditional ceremony. While the event was kept private, photos and videos leaked online Thursday showed the couple radiating joy in full Edo cultural regalia.
The 48-year-old singer looked every bit the royal groom in a crisp white native shirt with grey embroidery, paired with a matching wrapper and coral bead accessories. His bride Natasha stunned in a vibrant red off-shoulder dress, crowned with the elaborate Edo “okuku” headpiece made of coral beads – a powerful symbol of her Benin heritage.
This union comes just six months after 2Baba’s very public separation from Annie Macaulay, his wife of 12 years. Despite swirling rumors, the music icon has maintained that his relationship with Natasha wasn’t the cause of his previous marriage’s collapse.
Their love story went public in February when 2Baba popped the question on Valentine’s Eve. The journey hasn’t been without drama – a viral video in April showed 2Baba’s mother emotionally pleading with Natasha to “remove the beads” from her son, hinting at spiritual concerns. However, Mama Idibia later gave her blessing, signaling family acceptance.
On the 234 Mzansi podcast, 2Baba opened up about choosing emotional connection over physical attraction with Natasha. He spoke respectfully about Annie, calling her “amazing” and insisting their split was mutual.
“Marriage isn’t about suffering in silence,” advised the Benue State Governor’s entertainment adviser. “If it’s not working after trying to fix it, no one should live in bondage.”
Annie had publicly confirmed their separation at April’s Headies Awards, ending a love story that began in 1999. Despite their fairytale Dubai wedding in 2013 and vow renewal in 2022, their marriage faced constant strain, particularly over 2Baba’s relationship with Pero Adeniyi, mother to three of his children.
As 2Baba and Natasha begin their new life together, fans are left reflecting on the complex realities of love, marriage, and second chances in the spotlight.
