Natasha Osawaru, the Edo state lawmaker, has responded to claims that she spiritually fortified the beads she gave to singer 2Baba.
The allegations surfaced in February after Rose Idibia,
2Baba’s mother, publicly pleaded with Natasha to leave her son alone.
She also asked her to “remove the beads you placed on his
hands and neck”, arguing that the singer was not in his right senses.
In a recent interview, the lawmaker denied claims that the
beads were “diabolical,” stating that they were symbols of her family’s
royalty.
She explained that the hand bracelets represented her
family’s royal heritage, while the necklace was a gift from her grandfather,
who served as a knight to the late Queen of England.
Natasha also clarified that she did not give 2Baba the
beads, but rather he liked them and wore them of his own accord.
“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 been in the spotlight since 2Baba announced his
split from Annie Idibia and his new relationship with her a few days later.
Innocent ‘2baba’ Idibia also proposed to Natasha in
February.
