2Baba Denies London Arrest, Says Health Emergency Caused Show Cancellation
Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, better known as 2Baba, has refuted viral claims that he was arrested in London after a reported altercation with his wife, Natasha Osawaru.
The rumour, which originated from controversial blogger Tosin Silverdam, alleged that his failure to appear for a scheduled UK tour on October 2, 2025, was due to a domestic clash that led to his detention.
The claims further suggested that fans abandoned the show over his absence.
In a video posted on his Instagram, on Friday, 2Baba appeared alongside Natasha and close associates to debunk the reports.

To the organizers and everyone that came out, we go regroup and make something beautiful happen. And please, if una no sabi something, make una no talk abeg. This allegedly, I don tire.”
The clarification has since put the matter to rest, with fans expressing relief after seeing the singer in good health and standing beside his wife.
