Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has accused some family members and associates of running a dangerous smear campaign aimed at damaging his reputation and personal relationships.
In a video shared online, the award-winning singer said he could no longer stay silent as the situation had escalated far beyond normal family disagreements.
“I’m okay. I’m perfectly normal. Please stop painting me as mentally unstable,” he said.
2Baba alleged that the same interference that strained his marriage to actress Annie Idibia is now being targeted at his current partner, Natasha, who he claimed has been receiving death threats.
“My family destroyed my marriage with Annie. Now they are after Natasha,” he alleged.
“Natasha is getting death threats right now. This has gotten dangerously out of hand.”
He expressed frustration that those claiming to act in his best interest were instead putting him and Natasha at risk.
“You say you’re trying to save me, but you’re killing me. You’re killing us,” he lamented, stressing that he has the right to choose who he wants to be with.
The singer also dismissed claims about his mental health, pointing out that he recently performed in Abuja and has been seen publicly by fans.
“Everybody has been seeing me out there. Anybody that has eyes knows I’m okay,” he said.
Condemning what he described as false narratives being circulated about him, 2Baba said the situation had reached an unbearable level.
“What my family is doing—fabricating so many lies—has become so dangerous. It’s not funny anymore. I’m totally devastated,” he said.
He appealed for an end to the alleged attacks and pleaded for privacy.
“Please, just stay out of my private and personal life. Just let us be,” he said.
2Baba added that he will be sharing more details soon, stating that he has endured enough.
“I’m not going to be quiet anymore. In the next couple of days, I’m going to speak a whole lot of truth,” he vowed.
