Edo state lawmaker, Natasha Osawaru, has addressed allegations that she gifted singer 2Baba beads that were spiritually empowered.
The accusations first came to light in February after 2Baba’s mother, Rose Idibia, publicly begged Natasha to stop bothering her son.
She further claimed that the singer was not in his right mind and requested her to “remove the beads you placed on his hands and neck”.
The lawmaker refuted accusations that the beads were “diabolical” in a recent interview, claiming that they were representations of her family’s royalty.
She clarified that the necklace was a gift from her grandpa, a knight to the late Queen of England, while the hand bracelets symbolised her family’s royal ancestry.
It was also explained by Natasha that 2Baba liked the beads and wore them on his own initiative, not because she gave them to him.
“Those beads were given to me on my birthday, they represent a princess from a royal family, You know i am from the Igbinedion royal family. On my last birthday, my mum gave me three nice beads, they call it ‘Ezeneka, ‘which means river that never runs dry,” she said.
“The pearl on his neck was given to me by my grandad, the Queen of England gave it to him when she was alive. You know my grandad was a knight to the Queen of England, so they are just traditional beads, he liked them and wore them.
“There is nothing to it and are not diabolical and do not also contain juju. I did not wear them on him, he saw them and liked them and wore them, if you observe you will see that he likes beads a lot and has been wearing several before now.”
Natasha has garnered attention since 2Baba announced his split from Annie Idibia and revealed his new relationship with her shortly after.
In February, Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia also proposed to Natasha.
