Nigerian music legend 2Baba has appealed to Nigerians, his fans, and the broader public for forgiveness as discussions around his marriage to Natasha Idibia continue to dominate social media.
The veteran singer made the emotional plea in a video currently circulating online, urging the public to exercise restraint and stop amplifying issues within his family.
The appeal follows weeks of intense scrutiny, viral videos, and widespread speculation about tensions between the couple. The situation escalated after a series of online reactions and leaked exchanges triggered renewed conversations around the state of their marriage.
In the video, 2Baba directly addressed fans during a show, acknowledging the strain that public commentary has placed on his household. He expressed a desire for peace, asking Nigerians to allow his family space to resolve their private matters without external pressure or sensational narratives.
The artist also appealed for empathy, saying the unending spotlight has taken a toll not just on him but on his wife and children. His call for calm comes as both supporters and critics continue to debate the couple’s relationship dynamics.
He said: “Make una no vex again. Make una forgive me and my family and everybody.”
2Baba, widely celebrated as one of Africa’s most influential music icons, has often had his personal life pulled into the public arena. But his latest message signals a renewed attempt to draw boundaries and encourage a more compassionate dialogue around celebrity marriages.
While the singer did not go into details about the specific issues at play, his tone suggested a strong desire for reconciliation and healing within his family. The couple has yet to release any joint statement, but the singer’s appeal appears aimed at reducing escalating tensions and preventing further misinterpretations.
