The presence of Rose Idibia, mother of Nigerian music icon Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, at her son’s traditional wedding to Natasha Osawaru has triggered backlash online, as critics revisit her past disapproval of the union.
The private wedding, which has dominated social media discussions since images and clips surfaced, was marked by the appearance of close family members, including the singer’s mother.
However, her attendance at the ceremony has raised eyebrows among fans and observers, especially following observations that she once referred to Natasha as a “witch” and strongly opposed the relationship.
Rose Idibia was previously accused of openly expressing support for Annie Idibia, 2Baba’s estranged wife, and allegedly blaming Natasha for the collapse of the singer’s earlier marriage. The resurfacing of these claims has cast a shadow over what many had hoped would be seen as a reconciliatory moment.

While some see the image as a symbol of unity and possible reconciliation, others believe it reflects inconsistency and a sudden public shift in attitude that does not align with her previously reported stance.
Social media users have flooded comment sections with mixed reactions. Some criticised the elder Idibia for what they described as a performative show of support, questioning whether her presence was genuine or simply a public obligation.
Others argued that families can evolve and that showing up for her son’s milestone does not necessarily mean past sentiments were forgotten, but that peace may have been reached behind closed doors.
