Nigerian music legend 2Baba and his new wife, Natasha Osawaru, have sparked mixed reactions online after a recent video of them surfaced. The couple were seen together at a gathering, but instead of praise, the footage drew heavy criticism from social media users.
In the viral clip, Natasha, who is an Edo state lawmaker, wore a long red dress paired with a fascinator and dark sunglasses. She sat calmly on a cushion behind 2Baba as he stood up to greet people at the event. Fast-rising singer Fiddo was also spotted there, but the attention was mainly on Natasha and 2Baba.
Many people criticised Natasha’s outfit at their recent public appearance, saying it did not fit the occasion. Some also found it odd that she sat quietly behind her husband while he greeted others. Fans online said her body language and facial expression looked cold and unbothered, which made them uncomfortable.
This appearance came shortly after 2Baba faced backlash for his comments about men and relationships. He had said that men are not naturally wired to stay with just one woman. Many Nigerians were angry at his statement, accusing him of promoting negative stereotypes and disrespecting women.
The backlash was so strong that 2Baba had to apologise. In his apology, he spoke to Natasha, his children, and his fans. He said, “I am sorry for the statements I made,” and admitted that his words were insensitive and hurt many people who have always supported him.
Despite his apology, the outing with Natasha has added to the criticism. Some people feel she should not have attended the event with him so soon after the controversy. Others think she looked unhappy to be there.
For now, the couple remains under the public’s watchful eye. Fans are waiting to see if they will respond to the criticism or ignore it and move on.
