2Baba’s new lover Natasha Osawaru speaks on allegations of giving singer diabolical beads
Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, Natasha Osawaru, has addressed claims by Rose Idibia, mother of singer Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia, that she placed the musician under a spell using beads.
In February, Rose publicly appealed to Osawaru to “release” her son, alleging that he was not in the right state of mind after announcing his split from actress Annie Idibia and his relationship with Osawaru.

However, in an exclusive interview with Stella Korkus, Osawaru dismissed the allegations, stating that the beads are purely cultural and hold sentimental value, not supernatural power.

They represent a princess from a royal family. You know I am from the Igbinedion Royal Family,” she said.
She further explained that her mother gifted her the beads, called ‘EZENEKA,’ which means “River that never runs dry,” while the pearl necklace 2Baba wears originally belonged to her grandfather, who received it from the late Queen of England.

He liked them and wore them. There is nothing to it. They are not diabolical and do not also contain juju,” she stated.
Osawaru, granddaughter of Gabriel Igbinedion, maintained that the singer chose to wear the beads himself.
“I did not put them on him. He saw them, liked them, and wore them. If you observe, you will notice he has always liked beads and has been wearing different ones before now,” she added.
