'Help Me' - 2face cries out to Nigerians amid marriage difficulties

2face (Innocent Idibia)

Nigerian music star 2face (Innocent Idibia) has made his first public comment on the online controversy involving him and his wife, Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru.

On Wednesday, the singer posted a short, now-deleted message to his Instagram Story, saying only: “Help me.”

This followed just hours after his brother, Hyacinth Idibia, raised concerns on Instagram, where he quoted lyrics from one of 2face's songs.

Hyacinth wrote, “You’ve always been ahead, always been brilliant. Lyrics meant to inspire, but somehow it’s unfolding in real time… Painful reality. Allow us to save you. You’ve been suffering for too long. God knows”

This latest development follows weeks of public arguments between 2face and Osawaru.

The trouble reportedly began in the United Kingdom, where the couple had a heated argument that supposedly led to police getting involved and the singer being briefly arrested.

The issue reappeared during a live broadcast on Instagram with presenter Daddy Freeze, where the two were seen arguing openly on camera.

These events have increased speculation about serious problems in the marriage, and fans have been worrying about the singer’s state of health.
