In a heartbreaking and deeply disturbing cry for help, Nigerian music legend 2baba (Innocent Idibia) has broken his silence, exposing a sinister campaign of harassment and control orchestrated by his own family.
In a raw, late-night video released from his car, a visibly shaken 2baba removed the veil from his private life, revealing that the narrative being spun by his relatives is not an act of love, but a dangerous game that is destroying his life and endangering the woman he cares for.
The video paints a terrifying picture of a man under siege, not by enemies or fans, but by his own flesh and blood. “This whole thing has gotten dangerously out of hand,” 2baba lamented, his voice heavy with emotion. He addressed the recent public spectacle, stating unequivocally that while his family claims to be trying to “save” him, they have instead “actually destroyed me.”
The most damning revelation from the footage is 2baba’s note that his family refuses to respect his autonomy as a grown man. In a chilling admission, he noted that his family’s interference has crossed the line from concern into toxicity.
He reminded the public and his brothers that he is an adult with the right to choose his own path. “I believe I have the right to be with whoever I want to be with,” he asserted.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the Idibia family has a pattern of overstepping boundaries. 2baba pointedly recalled that this is not the first time they have launched such attacks, revealing, “My family did this with Annie. This same thing.” This statement suggests a toxic cycle within the family unit where the women in 2baba’s life are systematically targeted and vilified.
Perhaps the most distressing part of 2baba’s address was his defense of Natasha, who has been painted as a villain by the family’s narrative. 2baba clarified that Natasha is an innocent victim of a smear campaign that has now escalated to life-threatening proportions.
“They have killed somebody’s daughter’s character… Natasha is getting death threats right now,” 2baba revealed, visibly pained by the injustice. He described the situation as “unacceptable” and “unfair,” noting that they have assassinated her character.
2baba also took the opportunity to debunk the viral rumors surrounding the “Daddy Freeze livestream incident.” While the internet ran with a false narrative that Natasha was controlling him or snatching his phone, 2baba clarified that she was merely trying to protect him. She didn’t want him going live in a state of anger, hoping to present a united front, an act of care that was maliciously twisted to look like abuse. “She didn’t snatch any phone,” he clarified, debunking the lies spread against the lawmaker.
In a calculated move to discredit him, it appears his family has been fueling rumors that the music icon is mentally unstable. 2baba vehemently shut this down, stating, “I am perfectly okay painting me to be mentally unstable is ridiculous.” This attempt to question his sanity appears to be a classic gaslighting tactic used to strip him of his agency and justify their intrusive behavior.
The video ends on a somber note, with 2baba pleading for the public and his family to have a “human conscience.” He questioned how breaking into his home and writing petitions against his wife could possibly be construed as help. “You say you are helping me, but you are killing me,” he said.
It is time for the public to see reason with 2baba. He is not a child to be managed, nor is he a madman to be locked away. He is a man asking for the basic human right to live his life without the suffocating grip of family members who seem hellbent on destroying his happiness under the guise of protection.
As for Hon. Natasha, she remains a victim of a family war she never asked for, receiving death threats and petitions simply for being in the life of a man she cares about.
We must ask ourselves: if 2baba’s own family can push him to this point of public devastation, who exactly needs saving from whom?
