Nigerian singer Innocent “2Baba” Idibia and his estranged wife, actress Annie Macaulay, have followed each other again on Instagram, fuelling reactions amid reports of tension between the singer and his partner, Natasha Osawaru, a member of the Edo State House of Assembly.
PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported that 2Baba and Annie unfollowed each other on social media days after the “African Queen” hitmaker announced their separation in January 2025.
In July, rumours that the former couple had reconciled trended on social media after a video purportedly showing them together surfaced online. They, however, dismissed the speculation, saying the footage was old.
Checks by this newspaper on Sunday showed that 2Baba and Annie now follow each other on Instagram.
Further checks showed that the singer no longer follows his partner on the platform. The development comes amid reports of an altercation involving the couple outside a nightclub in Abuja on Friday.
Neither the renewed Instagram connection between 2Baba and Annie nor his decision to unfollow Ms Osawaru establishes the state of either relationship. 
Altercation
The reported incident occurred during the opening of the “90s Lounge” in Abuja and has since generated reactions on social media. A viral video obtained by this newspaper and widely circulated online purportedly showed moments from the incident.
However, the footage does not show the events that allegedly triggered the confrontation or establish the circumstances surrounding it.
An X user identified as King, who claimed to have witnessed the incident, alleged that Ms Osawaru arrived at the venue with some men and waited for 2Baba.
He claimed that when the singer arrived, Ms Osawaru approached his vehicle and demanded to speak with him, causing a commotion outside the venue.
The video posted by King, however, does not show the alleged confrontation between Ms Osawaru and 2Baba.
He further alleged that the singer eventually took Ms Osawaru inside the venue to prevent the situation from escalating.
“Allegedly, 2Face and his latest wife, Natasha, haven’t been on good terms for months, and she hasn’t even been able to see him. She reportedly heard that the owner of Trukadero was opening a club called 90’s yesterday, so she went there and waited for 2Face.
“When he finally arrived, she rushed to his car and started making a scene, saying she wanted to see her husband and talk to him,” he wrote.
Neither 2Baba nor Ms Osawaru has publicly addressed the account of what allegedly transpired at the venue.
Previous controversies
The latest speculation follows previous controversies involving 2Baba and Ms Osawaru since their relationship became public in 2025.
Ms Osawaru publicly referred to the singer as her husband in May 2025, months after he announced his separation from Annie and subsequently proposed to the Edo lawmaker. The couple later held a traditional wedding.

They later made headlines following a clash during an Instagram Live session hosted by media personality Daddy Freeze.
2Baba and his partner also attracted public attention following reports of an altercation in the United Kingdom that allegedly led to the singer’s arrest.
In another controversy, 2Baba publicly apologised to Ms Osawaru after saying during an interview that “men are not built for one woman.”
The latest developments have renewed speculation about both his marriage to Ms Osawaru and his relationship with Annie. However, none of the parties has publicly linked 2Baba and Annie’s decision to follow each other again to the reported problems in his marriage.
