A new photo of Nigerian music legend 2Baba and his wife, Natasha Osawaru, has set social media buzzing again as fans zoomed in, not on the couple, but on a small object Natasha appeared to be holding.
The image, which surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), shows 2Baba sitting calmly beside Natasha, but within hours, conversations shifted entirely to the item in her hand. Though its identity remains unclear, several users claimed it resembled a Backwood, a tobacco wrap popularly linked with cannabis; an illegal substance in Nigeria.
One user, @Talk2_segun, was among the first to raise eyebrows, asking, “Na Backyyy b daht oh?” Others quickly joined the speculation, suggesting the object looked like cannabis and reigniting debates around the couple’s private life.
This moment arrives at a time when 2Baba and Natasha are already navigating intense public scrutiny. Just recently, the internet erupted after a viral video allegedly captured the singer being arrested in the UK following a heated altercation with his wife. The clip, though still unverified, added fuel to an already growing fire.
Before that, 2Baba’s former management team accused Natasha of domestic violence, claiming they had witnessed moments where the singer was allegedly assaulted. Those claims continue to spark mixed reactions as the couple remains publicly silent.
As expected, the internet wasted no time dissecting the image, with reactions ranging from humorous to deeply concerned:
@Talk2_segun observed, “Na Backyyy b daht oh.” @klassiqtunez said, “Smoking Dey disturb woman pass man, you won’t have peace.” @ifeanyimbakog noted, “If God wan punish you, Na woman e go first push enter your eye.”
@WIZEINTHEBEAT observed, “2face done turn wife, same thing JJC Skillz was facing at some point.” @freenation101 noted, “No be person wey Edo Assembly call family meeting on be this.” @mark_kotun stated, “Give her Cana make she update.”
@AbCorenect said, “He finally got what he wanted. Dear men, don’t ruin your family because of pleasure. Use your sense before them go use am for you.”
As the debates intensify, neither 2Baba nor Natasha has addressed the photo, leaving fans to draw their own interpretations.
