His absence led to rumours that he had been arrested after a fight with his new wife, who is also a lawmaker in the Edo State House of Assembly, Natasha Osawaru, at the airport.<\/p>\n

However, confirming the report, while featuring on Daddy Freeze\u2019s Instagram Live session, yesterday evening, Igbokwe said \u201ceverything you had the couple\u2019s face-off was true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Narrating how the altercation happened, Igbokwe who was part of the London team, and was in the same flight with them, said, Natasha got upset when she felt 2Baba abandoned her after they landed at the airport and strolled away with fans who ushered him into a shop.<\/p>\n

However, when the, \u201cAfrican Queen\u201d crooner realised that Natasha was left behind, he hurriedly ran back to her as she lashed out at him, leading to his being arrested and handcuffed.<\/p>\n

The video, which was posted on December 1, 2025, had sparked fresh debate online, with many Nigerians revisiting a story 2Baba had already denied. In a video posted on Instagram, 2Baba denied the reports and explained that he missed the show because of a medical emergency. At the time, he and fans dismissed the report, but the story continued to circulate on gossip sites and social media.<\/p>\n

The controversy returned after Tosin Silverdam, a blogger, posted what he described as new evidence, a video clip on Instagram and X on December 1, which he said shows 2Baba being arrested at London\u2019s Gatwick Airport after a heated argument with Natasha.<\/p>\n

In the caption, he wrote, \u201cVideo of Tuface Idibia Being Arrested by the Police in the UK After an Alleged Altercation with His Wife Natasha\u2026 and Video of Heated Argument at the Airport. The Video Is Finally Out.\u201d<\/p>\n
