Nigerian Musician Innocent Idibia, well known by his stage as 2Baba, has publicly declared his desire to marry Natasha Osawaru.
Only a few weeks have passed since he made his separation from actress Annie Macaulay, who is the mother of two of his children, public.
The 49-year-old declared his love for Natasha in an Instagram video early on Wednesday, making it clear that his feelings for her are unrelated to his breakup with Annie.
Here are six things to know about Natasha Osawaru:
1. Political career – Natasha Osawaru, popularly known as “Honourable Natasha,” is a politician and currently serves as the Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly.
2. Date of birth – She was born on November 14, 1993.
