Natasha Osawaru, a 30-year-old politician and the Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, has recently addressed the swirling rumors about her relationship with renowned Nigerian musician Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face.

In a statement that has sparked widespread discussion, Osawaru clarified that she did not "steal" 2Face from anyone, emphasizing that their connection began at a time when the music star was in need of emotional support.

This comes in the wake of 2Face’s highly publicized separation from his wife of 13 years, Annie Macaulay, which he announced in January 2025.

The divorce proceedings, coupled with Osawaru’s relationship with the singer, have kept both figures in the spotlight.

Osawaru, who represents the Egor Constituency under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been a prominent figure in Edo State politics since her election in 2023.

Hailing from the Idoma tribe—a group celebrated for its vibrant cultural heritage, including the iconic red and black striped traditional attire—she has made a name for herself as a passionate advocate for youth empowerment and women’s inclusion in politics.

However, her personal life has now taken center stage, particularly after she added "Idibia" to her Instagram bio in March 2025, fueling speculation about her relationship with 2Face.

The statement has elicited mixed reactions on X, with some users questioning the timeline of her involvement with 2Face, while others have made light of the situation, drawing parallels to Idoma cultural stereotypes about relationships.

For instance, one user humorously suggested translating the scenario into "football terms," reflecting the public’s fascination with the drama.

Despite the controversy, Osawaru remains focused on her political career, continuing to champion vocational training and entrepreneurship initiatives in her constituency, even as her personal choices keep her in the headlines.
