What was billed as a celebration of Faze’s 90s Lounge opening in Abuja reportedly turned tense on Friday night after the appearance of singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, and his estranged wife, Natasha Osawaru.
The development reportedly created an unexpected security situation at the venue, where 2Baba was scheduled to perform.
Sources familiar with the event said Natasha arrived at the lounge with security personnel, an appearance that reportedly heightened tensions among those within the singer’s camp.
A member of 2Baba’s team confirmed that a confrontation occurred at the venue, although details surrounding what triggered the incident remained unclear.
A member of the lounge’s management also confirmed that a group of security personnel and other men allegedly attempted to move 2Baba away from the premises.
The situation reportedly escalated when members of the singer’s security team intervened to prevent the move.
The development added another public dimension to the strained relationship between 2Baba and Natasha, who have reportedly been apart amid ongoing family issues.
However, it remained unclear why Natasha attended the event or whether her presence was connected to 2Baba’s scheduled performance.
Despite reports of a physical confrontation, sources said no serious injuries were recorded.
It was also unclear as of press time whether anyone was arrested in connection with the incident.
The reported drama briefly shifted attention away from the opening of Faze’s 90s Lounge, turning what was expected to be a high-profile entertainment gathering into an unexpected scene involving one of Nigeria’s most recognisable music personalities and his estranged wife.
Details surrounding the incident remained sketchy, with conflicting accounts emerging over what happened inside the venue and why security personnel became involved.
