‘I’m Okay’ – 2Baba Denies Mental Health Claims
Kehinde Adeleye
Nigerian music icon Innocent “2Baba” Idibia has accused some family members and associates of orchestrating a “dangerous campaign” to distort his image, undermine his relationships, and portray him as mentally unstable.
In an emotional video shared online, the veteran singer said he could no longer remain silent, insisting that the situation has escalated far beyond normal family disagreements.
“I’m okay. I’m perfectly normal. Please stop painting me as mentally unstable,” he said.
2Baba alleged that the same interference he believes contributed to the breakdown of his marriage to actress Annie Idibia is now being directed at his partner, Natasha, who he claims is currently receiving death threats.
“My family destroyed my marriage with Annie. Now they are after Natasha,” he said. “Natasha is getting death threats right now. This has gotten dangerously out of hand.”
The singer expressed deep frustration, saying that those claiming to be protecting him are instead putting him and his partner at risk.
“You say you’re trying to save me, but you’re killing me. You’re killing us,” he said, adding that he is capable of making decisions about his personal life. “I’m a grown man and I have the right to be with who I want to be with.”
Dismissing rumours about his state of mind, 2Baba noted that he recently performed in Abuja and has been seen publicly by fans.
“Anybody that has eyes knows I’m okay,” he said.
Condemning what he described as lies and fabrications coming from within his circle, the singer said the situation has become unbearable.
“It has become so dangerous. It’s not funny anymore. I’m totally devastated,” he said.
He appealed to those involved to stop the harassment and respect his privacy.
“Please, just stay out of my private and personal life. Just let us be,” he pleaded.
2Baba added that he intends to reveal more details soon, saying he has endured enough.
“I’m not going to be quiet anymore,” he said. “In the next couple of days, I’m going to speak a whole lot of truth.”
