Comedian Ushbebe urges Nigerians to pray for music icon 2Face Idibia, sparking online buzz over concerns about the singer’s relationship choices.
In a recent video, Ushbebe questioned the nature of 2Face’s relationship with Natasha Osawaru, an Edo State lawmaker, suggesting that there may be more going on than the public is aware of.
In a strongly worded video shared on his social media page, Ushbebe expressed concern over how closely 2Face seems to be tied to Natasha.
According to him, the veteran singer is no longer acting like the legend many have respected for decades.
Instead, he appears to be following Natasha around in a manner that the comedian described as “schoolboy-like.”
“Let’s just call for prayers for legend o!” Ushbebe exclaimed. “Dem go hold legend’s hand, dey carry am waka like tata wey dem wan go drop for school. Legend supposed be legend o, 2Face free yourself. Emancipate yourself!”
“This one go hard me”
Ushbebe admitted he usually keeps his opinions to himself but felt compelled to speak out in this case. He described the situation as embarrassing, especially given 2Face’s status in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
“I like minding my business but on this particular issue, I have to speak up,” he said. “Which one be all these rubbish na? Which one be all these see finish na? You dey carry legend waka like say na schoolboy. No, now. We need to talk.”
The comedian’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions online. While some agree with his call for concern, others believe 2Face’s personal life should be left private.
Not the first concern raised
Ushbebe’s comments follow an earlier plea from 2Face’s mother, Rose Idibia, who also expressed worry about her son’s connection to Natasha Osawaru. In a public appeal, she urged the lawmaker to release her son from what she described as spiritual or emotional control.
According to Rose Idibia, 2Face’s recent actions suggest he may not be thinking clearly. She pleaded with Natasha to remove certain spiritual items from her son’s body.
“Take off the beads you put on his hand and on his neck,” she said. “He’s not himself. Let him go.”
These statements have only fueled public speculation, with fans and commentators asking questions about how deep this relationship might really be.
More than just love?
Ushbebe didn’t mince words. He made it clear that, in his view, what’s happening between 2Face and Natasha goes beyond ordinary affection. He hinted at manipulation or some deeper control, urging the singer to break free and reclaim his identity.
“Emancipate yourself o!” Ushbebe said again, with emotion in his voice. “Legend no suppose dey move like say e no get voice. This one go hard me to overlook.”
Public figures under scrutiny
As a music icon, 2Face Idibia—real name Innocent Ujah Idibia—has long been seen as a symbol of excellence in Nigerian music.
His fans hold him in high regard, not just for his talent, but also for his resilience and legacy. That’s why many are surprised and confused by his recent public appearances, which some say show him taking a backseat in his own life.
The growing concern from both family and public figures like Ushbebe has ignited a wider conversation about celebrity relationships and influence. When public figures, especially legends like 2Face, show signs of distress or unusual behavior, fans tend to notice—and speak up.
What’s next?
For now, neither 2Face nor Natasha Osawaru has officially responded to the growing commentary. However, with voices like Ushbebe and Rose Idibia stepping into the spotlight, the pressure may mount for clarification.
As fans continue to watch closely, one thing is clear: many people care deeply about 2Face and want to see him well—both emotionally and spiritually. Whether the concerns are valid or just misunderstandings, the calls for prayer and clarity are growing louder.
And in the words of Ushbebe himself, “Legend supposed be legend.”
