Singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2face or 2Baba, has confirmed his relationship with the Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, Natasha Osawaru.
On Monday, 2Baba caused a stir when he made a surprise appearance at the Edo State House of Assembly during plenary.
While some linked the visit to political reasons, others suggested it was connected to his rumoured romance with the lawmaker.
The timing of his visit raised eyebrows, especially after social media blogger Cutie Juls had earlier alleged that Osawaru was his new love interest.

Addressing the rumours in a video shared on Instagram early Wednesday, 2Baba confirmed his affection for Natasha.
“Yes, I love her. I want to marry her,” he declared.
He also defended Natasha against allegations that she was responsible for the tension in his marriage to actress Annie Idibia.
“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,” he reiterated.
The 49-year-old further expressed concern over the backlash Natasha has received, saying:
“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.”
His revelation comes shortly after announcing his separation from Annie in January, a development that has sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians.
