‘‘She has nothing to do with what’s happening between me and Annie. But I see everybody trying to want to rope her into everything allegedly. Yes, I love her…’’
Sixteen days after he announced his divorce from Annie Macaulay, his actress wife of 12 years, superstar singer 2baba has unveiled Natasha Osawaru as his fiancee.
Ms Osawaru is a politician currently serving as the Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly.
2baba’s whirlwind affair with Ms Osawaru has dominated the gossip mills after photos and videos surfaced online before their divorce announcement.
On Monday, the singer’s surprise appearance at the State House of Assembly during a plenary session raised eyebrows and somewhat confirmed his relationship with Ms Osawaru.
However, on Tuesday night, the much-loved singer restated the rumours by extolling his woman and making his intentions for her public.

In a shocking move, the 49-year-old father of six openly declared his love for the lawmaker in a now-viral video.
He said: “To Whom It May Concern. #I do yarn my truth. Feel free to continue alleging. We shall all be alright. Natasha is a young, brilliant, and amazing woman” who has been unfairly labelled as a “home breaker. Allegedly, I have been seeing so many things, so many people coming up with their false narratives and malicious nonsense after I posted that stuff that I posted.
