Nigerian music legend 2Baba (Innocent Ujah Idibia) marked his 50th birthday on Thursday, and the milestone was celebrated with a heartfelt declaration of love from his wife, Edo lawmaker Hon. Natasha Osawaru-Idibia, that lit up social media and trended across entertainment circles.
Taking to Instagram, Natasha poured out her feelings for the Afrobeats icon, calling him “the love of my life” and expressing gratitude for the joy he has brought into her world. “You’re 50! Oh wow! You spaced me with 20 years, yet you look younger than I do—how ironic,” she teased, before adding, “Baby, I want to spend each day loving you and caring for you for the rest of my life. I love you, and happy birthday, my baby.”
The emotional tribute comes just months after the couple tied the knot in a traditional wedding ceremony that followed 2Baba’s public separation from actress Annie Idibia earlier this year. Their whirlwind romance—confirmed by a Valentine’s Day proposal in February—has been the subject of headlines throughout 2025, with Natasha’s affectionate posts regularly stirring conversations among fans and critics alike.
The Edo State lawmaker, who represents Egor Constituency under the People’s Democratic Party, also reflected on her husband’s enduring influence, describing waking up beside him as “one of the greatest gifts ever.”
The post sparked an outpouring of reactions from fans, celebrities, and fellow politicians—many praising 2Baba’s lasting legacy in African music and the couple’s open display of affection. Some highlighted the singer’s ability to remain relevant for more than two decades, crediting him with shaping Afrobeats while maintaining humility and social impact through initiatives like the Vote Not Fight campaign.
As 2Baba turns 50, his influence shows no signs of waning. Beyond the romantic headlines, the milestone reinforces his status as one of Africa’s most beloved performers—an artist whose music and message continue to inspire generations, even as his personal life remains a topic of fascination.
