“2Baba Scandal Erupts! Viral Footage Shows Singer Handcuffed in London After Public Altercation!”
By Passman Akpos
A new video circulating widely on social media has sparked confusion and intense debate after appearing to show Nigerian music icon Innocent “2Baba” Idibia being arrested by police officers in London, United Kingdom.
The footage, posted by blogger Tosin Silverdam on TikTok, shows uniformed UK police officers speaking with the Afrobeat legend outside what appears to be a retail store before escorting him away with his hands cuffed behind his back. The circumstances leading up to the moment remain unclear.
The viral clip emerged barely hours after another video surfaced online showing a woman believed to be his wife, Osawaru Natasha, raising her voice at him inside a London shop. In the clip, she accuses him of repeatedly shouting at her, escalating public speculation about the state of the couple’s marriage.
UK Police Silent, Details Still Murky
As of press time, UK authorities have not issued any official statement confirming the arrest or explaining the circumstances behind the footage. The lack of clarity has fuelled a wave of speculation, with many social media users revisiting earlier allegations.
In October, reports had surfaced claiming 2Baba was arrested in London after a domestic dispute with Natasha. The singer strongly denied the rumours, stating that he missed his October 2, 2025 UK performance due to a medical emergency — not an altercation.
In his Instagram statement at the time, 2Baba said:
> “First of all, I want to say to everyone that came out, I appreciate you. We had a medical emergency, it was tough… We go regroup and make something beautiful happen.”
He also blasted those spreading “unverified claims,” saying:
> “If una no sabi something, make una no talk abeg. This ‘allegedly’, I don tire.”@More Drama Unfolds: 2Baba Joins Daddy Freeze’s Live, Clashes With Ex-Manager, Then With Natasha
The day’s chaos intensified when 2Baba unexpectedly joined a heated Instagram Live hosted by media personality Daddy Freeze, featuring the singer’s former manager, Kaka. During the session, Kaka alleged that 2Baba’s marriage to Natasha was “toxic.”
A visibly irritated 2Baba snapped:
> “Shut the f*ck up!”
Moments later, Natasha attempted to join the live session from the same room, escalating into an altercation as 2Baba repeatedly refused to let her appear on camera. Viewers described the exchange as “tense,” “chaotic,” and “worrying.”
Nigerians React: Shock, Anger, Sympathy, and Brutal Hot Takes
The drama has triggered a flood of emotional reactions online. Many Nigerians expressed disappointment, while others criticised the singer’s recent marital choices. Social media comments have ranged from sympathetic to outright brutal:
“Tuface and his new wife have confirmed they’re in trouble. He left a drug addict to marry a troublesome woman.”
“Natasha is violent. Annie wasn’t violent—she just loved him too much.”
“This marriage? Crash on the way. Two street people in one boat.”
“Tuface deserves all the shit he’s getting. Natasha will finally be the end of him.”
“Stop believing everything you see online. Maybe 2Baba get upcoming show.”
“All marriages get issues. Natasha might actually give him peace.”
“Men, be careful. Not every woman is what she seems.”
While social media remains sharply divided, one thing is clear: the footage has reopened intense debate about 2Baba’s personal life and marriage.
Insider Claims Add Another Twist
One commenter claiming to be close to the couple alleged that the arrest footage being circulated is from an earlier incident, suggesting it was recorded before Natasha gave birth:
> “The arrest happened before Natasha gave birth. His team took those photos but later released them after they fell out.”
This claim, however, remains unverified.
What Next for 2Baba?
With no official statement from UK authorities or the singer’s team, the public can only speculate on the true context behind the arrest clip. Whether the footage shows a real arrest, a misunderstanding, or an unrelated encounter remains unknown.
For now, fans around the world are holding their breath as the story continues to unfold.
