Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2face, and his new wife, Natasha Osawaru, were seen quarreling publicly on social media during an Instagram Live session on Monday, sparking intense reactions from fans and followers.
The session, hosted by popular radio personality Daddy Freeze, involved 2face’s former management team when the singer decided to join the conversation. Almost immediately, tensions rose as 2face and Natasha exchanged heated words.
At one point, 2face asked his wife, “What is your problem?”, while Natasha attempted to take the phone during the live session. The couple’s argument escalated, with both shouting at each other, before the live session abruptly ended.
The quarrel quickly went viral, with clips from the Instagram Live shared across platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. Fans expressed shock over the public nature of the spat, given 2face’s longstanding reputation as a music icon and family man.
Many commentators noted that public arguments between celebrities often generate intense scrutiny online, particularly when they involve prominent figures in Nigeria’s entertainment industry. Some fans sympathized with the couple, while others criticized the airing of private disputes in public.
The Instagram Live quarrel comes shortly after a video surfaced on social media, suggesting that 2face was arrested in the United Kingdom. The footage, first shared by blogger Tosin Silverdam on TikTok, appeared to show police officers speaking with 2face outside what looked like a retail store before escorting him away with his hands cuffed behind his back.
Details surrounding the alleged arrest remain unclear. Neither 2face nor his management has confirmed the circumstances, while UK authorities have not issued a public statement regarding the incident.
The timing of the alleged arrest and the Instagram Live quarrel has led to speculation among fans that the two events may be related. Some social media users suggested that the stress of the situation could have contributed to the public argument between the singer and his wife.
2face is one of Nigeria’s most celebrated music artists, with a career spanning over two decades. Formerly a member of the R&B group Plantashun Boiz, he rose to fame with hit singles such as African Queen and has won numerous awards, including MTV Africa Music Awards and Headies Awards.
His personal life has also drawn attention over the years, especially following his recent marriage to Natasha Osawaru. The couple has been in the public eye, and fans often follow updates about their relationship closely on social media.
In Nigeria, celebrity marriages are frequently under intense media and public scrutiny. Experts note that public arguments like the one between 2face and Natasha can affect both personal reputations and fan perceptions.
The alleged arrest in the UK has led to widespread speculation. Some reports suggest that 2face may have been involved in a minor dispute or misunderstanding with law enforcement, while others speculate on more serious legal implications.
Fans and entertainment commentators alike have cautioned against jumping to conclusions until verified information is released. “It is important not to spread rumors,” social media user @NaijaEntertainment wrote. “We should wait for official statements from the singer or authorities.”
As of now, the circumstances surrounding both the Instagram Live quarrel and the alleged arrest remain unclear. 2face’s management team has not issued a formal statement, and UK authorities have yet to provide confirmation or clarification regarding the reported incident.
The events highlight the challenges celebrities face in balancing public life with private matters, especially in the age of social media where moments can be recorded and shared instantly with millions of viewers worldwide.
