Mrs Rose Idibia, the mother of Nigeria’s popular artiste, Innocent Idibia, aka Tuface, has called on Ms Natasha Osawaru, Tuface’s new heartthrob who recently accepted his marriage proposal to free her son.
In a video by one Becky Madojuemu on her Facebook page, Tuface’s mother is seen comfortably seated in her sitting room imploring the Deputy Majority leader of the Edo State House of Assembly and granddaughter of Chief Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion, the Esama of Benin to hands off her son.
Tuface’s mother stopped short of saying that Natasha had charmed her son, as she appealed to Nigerian women to beg the Edo lawmaker to free her him. She then asked Natasha to remove the beads she put on her son’s hand and neck and free him.
According to her, Tuface is going through divorce process and is not in his right senses. “I know my son. This is not him,” she maintained.
She said:
Good evening Nigerians. My name is Mrs Rose Idibia. This message is for Ms Natasha Osawaru from Edo State. I am calling on all mothers in Nigeria to help me beg her to free my son. My son is going through divorce process and is clearly not in his right senses now. I know my son. This is not him. Please Natasha, the bead you put on his hand and on his neck remove them and free him.
That Tuface’s mother is coming out with this appeal on Valentine’s Day is significant enough. Recall that the highly -talented artiste is embroiled in a messy divorce process with his estranged wife, Annie Macaulay, who, according to sources is currently facing mental health challenges.
No sooner had the news of the divorce gone viral, with many Nigeria’s taking sides with either Tuface or Annie, than Tuface was seen in a video with Natasha.
Tuface himself confirmed his amorous relationship with the Edo-state born lady when he appealed to Nigerians to beg Natasha to marry him.
This triggered a flurry of reactions, as many accused Natasha of being a home breaker and the cause of the collapse of the marriage between the muscian and Annie.
But the Afrobeat star came out in another video to defend his new lover, saying she had nothing to do with the collapse of his marriage, as he described her as “a young, brilliant, amazing woman.”
Tuface said: “Hon. Natasha has been dragged, she has been called all sorts of names, she has been labeled as a home breaker.
“She is a young brilliant, amazing woman and she had nothing to do with what is happening between me and Annie in our marriage.”
He continued, “Yes I love her, she is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her.”
