LAGOS – In a heartfelt plea that has quickly gone viral, Mrs. Rose Idibia, mother of music icon Innocent “2face” Idibia, has publicly appealed to Edo State House of Assembly member, Natasha Osawaru, to end her alleged involvement with her son. The emotional appeal, made in a video circulating online since Thursday evening, casts a spotlight on the singer’s ongoing divorce proceedings with his estranged wife, Annie Idibia, and his current emotional state.
Mrs. Idibia, visibly distressed in the video, directly addresses Ms. Osawaru, saying, Good evening, Nigerians. My name is Mrs. Rose Idibia, the mother of 2face. This message is for Miss Natasha Osawaru of Edo State. I’m calling on all mothers in Nigeria to help me beg her to free my son.” The plea, which has resonated with many online, suggests a deeper entanglement than previously known in the already complex marital situation involving the popular musician.

— lagosdaily (@lagosdailypost) February 14, 2025While the specific nature of the relationship between 2face and Ms. Osawaru remains unclear, Mrs. Idibia’s appeal paints a picture of a mother deeply concerned about her son’s well-being. She suggests that 2face is particularly vulnerable at this time, struggling with the emotional fallout of his highly publicized divorce from Annie. The implication is that Ms. Osawaru’s presence in his life is exacerbating his distress.
The video, which has quickly spread across social media platforms, has ignited a flurry of reactions. Many Nigerians have expressed sympathy for Mrs. Idibia and echoed her plea, calling on Ms. Osawaru to respect the family’s privacy and allow 2face to navigate his personal challenges. Others have criticized the public nature of the appeal, arguing that family matters should be handled privately. However, Mrs. Idibia’s decision to take her concerns public speaks to the depth of her worry and her belief that public intervention is necessary.
Neither 2face nor Ms. Osawaru has yet publicly responded to Mrs. Idibia’s appeal. The silence from both parties has only fueled speculation and intensified public interest in the matter. As the video continues to circulate, the spotlight remains firmly fixed on this unfolding drama, leaving many to wonder what the next chapter will hold for the Idibia family.
