Nigerian musician Innocent Idibia, also known as Tuface or 2baba, has acknowledged his connection with Natasha Osawaru, the Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, amid reports that he and his wife, Annie Macaulay, had broken up.
The singer added that the conflict between him and his wife, Annie, is not the result of his new love.
Tuface created a stir on Monday when he attended plenary at the Edo State House of Assembly amid circulating allegations about their romance.
Some on social media saw his visit to the House as a confirmation of the reported romance with the Edo State legislator, while others questioned why he was there.
However, the legendary singer addressed the rumours in a video post on his Instagram handle early Wednesday morning.
Confirming his affection for the lawmaker, Tuface stated, “Yes, I love her. I want to marry her.”
He added: “I said what I said. All of us will be alright… Honourable Natasha, I see she has been dragged, she has been called all sorts of names. She has been labelled as a home breaker. She is a young, brilliant and amazing woman.”
The singer also said that his new love is not responsible for the marital tension between him and his wife, Annie.
“She has nothing to do with what’s happening between me and Annie. But I see everybody trying to allegedly want to rope her into everything. Yes, I love her. She is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her,” Tuface said.
Tuface surprised the social media community in January when he revealed that he and his wife, Annie, had filed for divorce after a period of separation.
“Hello to my beautiful people of all federations. Well, what I have to say is both brief and lengthy. I’ve been separated from Annie Macaulay for some time, and we’ve filed for divorce.
“I would soon give a press release to tell my tale because I love my people and I want them to know if I am innocent or guilty, not because anyone has a right to know about my private life. My folks, may you remain blessed. I cherish each and every one of you.” He stated.
