2Baba Faults Family Interference, Says Attempts to ‘Save’ Him Are Harming His Marriage

 

Nigerian music legend Innocent Ujah Idibia, widely known as 2Baba or 2face, has spoken out about what he described as damaging interference in his marriage to his wife, Natasha. The award-winning artiste revealed that individuals claiming to be acting in his best interest have instead deepened tensions within his home.

According to local entertainment reporters, 2Baba lamented that some members of his family and inner circle have used the excuse of wanting to “save” him to justify actions that undermine both him and his wife. He explained that such behaviour has created fresh conflict rather than offering support, noting that the emotional strain has become increasingly difficult to manage.

The singer reportedly stated that those involved often act as though they are protecting him, but their conduct tells a different story. According to observers close to the situation, the interference has ranged from unsolicited advice to direct criticism of his wife, creating an environment of mistrust and discomfort. He emphasised that what his marriage needs is peace and understanding, not disruptive involvement.

2Baba, who has long been a prominent figure in the Nigerian music industry, highlighted that his personal life has become the target of unwarranted scrutiny. According to entertainment analysts, celebrities often face pressure from both fans and relatives, but the singer suggested that the line between concern and intrusion has been crossed in his case. He maintained that such actions not only destabilise his marriage but also affect his mental well-being.

He further urged those claiming to care about him to reflect on whether their actions are genuinely supportive or merely adding fuel to existing tensions. According to people familiar with the matter, the singer wants his family and close associates to show respect for his choices and allow his relationship to thrive without unnecessary interference.

2Baba’s remarks have since sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians discussing the broader issue of family involvement in marriages. Commentators noted that his openness may encourage others facing similar challenges to speak up and protect their relationships from external pressures.
