Amid growing public speculation, Natasha Osawaru, fiancée to Nigerian music icon 2Baba, has set the record straight on the royal beads adorning her partner’s neck and wrist.
Contrary to circulating rumors, she asserts that the beads are not tied to any mystical influence but are instead deeply rooted in her Benin heritage.
As a member of the prestigious Igbinedion royal family, Natasha revealed that these accessories were birthday gifts to 2Baba, carrying cultural and sentimental significance. In a recent interview, she further disclosed that the pearl necklace often seen on the legendary singer was once gifted to her grandfather by the Queen of England, making it an heirloom of profound historical value.
However, not everyone seems convinced. 2Baba’s mother, Rose Idibia, recently made headlines after allegedly urging Natasha to remove the beads, suggesting they might be influencing the singer’s actions. In response, Natasha dismissed the claims, reaffirming that the beads are symbols of royalty and love, not spiritual manipulation.
Cultural experts have backed her statement, emphasizing that in Benin tradition, such beads are a sign of nobility, commitment, and heritage—often worn by royals and exchanged as tokens of devotion.
The controversy surrounding Natasha and 2Baba comes at a time when the singer’s private life is under scrutiny, following his separation from wife Annie Idibia. But despite the rumors and criticisms, Natasha remains steadfast in honoring her heritage while standing by the man she loves.
