Nigerian music legend, Innocent Idibia—better known as 2Baba—has publicly apologised to his wife, Natasha Osawaru, his fans, and his loved ones after sparking outrage with his recent comments about men and monogamy.

In a now-viral Instagram video posted in the early hours of July 2, 2025, the African Queen hitmaker admitted he had made a serious mistake, taking full responsibility for the backlash his statement caused. His earlier remarks, where he claimed that “men aren’t built to be with only one woman sexually,” stirred strong reactions online, with many accusing him of promoting harmful stereotypes and disrespecting his wife.

“Yo man, I know I fuked up with what I said,” 2Baba began in his emotional video. “I really, really fuked up more than I said… I own up to the fact that I hurt so many people—my fans, my family, the people that look up to me.”

He continued, offering a heartfelt apology to Natasha: “I'm sorry to my wife, the love of my life. Natasha, she's amazing—smart, kind, and wonderful. I’m deeply sorry for putting her through this.” He also expressed regret to his children and young fans, saying he didn’t deserve to drag them into such controversy.

2Baba’s statement on monogamy, while viewed by some as a raw personal opinion, drew widespread criticism for reinforcing gender biases and disrespecting the values of loyalty and commitment, especially coming from a public figure with a large following.

The singer acknowledged the damage his words had caused and said he was ready to face the consequences: “I know I'm going to get cancelled for this. I know I'm going to pay the price, a heavy price.”

As the dust settles, fans are left to reflect on the lessons in accountability and the importance of using public platforms responsibly. Whether this moment will reshape public perception of 2Baba remains to be seen, but for now, the artist appears genuinely remorseful and willing to make things right.
