Natasha Osawaru, the recently ousted Edo State Assembly Majority Leader and rumored new partner of music legend 2Baba Idibia, has stirred controversy online after introducing herself as “Hon. Natasha Osawaru nee Idibia” during a live plenary session.
The viral moment, captured on video, showed Osawaru proudly taking on the superstar’s surname a move that has reignited speculations about a possible secret marriage or romance between her and the iconic singer.
However, it wasn’t just the name drop that caught attention it was her misuse of the term “née” (which actually means maiden name), sparking widespread criticism and memes across social media.
Here’s what netizens are saying:
- @Mary Queen: “How did this girl enter House of Assembly?”
- @Miracle Imo: “Née Idibia ke! Even Facebook aunties use it better. Shame wear me Doha fascinator.”
- @Obaro Lukman: “You guys are just hating. Natasha is living her best life and trolls can’t stand it. Inline in-laws are restless 😂.”
- @Tonia: “A whole lawyer and lawmaker doesn’t know what née means. If desperate had a name, it would be nee Idibia.”
- @Udoh: “Olodo! So Idibia is your maiden name now? This is someone who schooled abroad?”
While Natasha seems unbothered, confidently owning her moment in the spotlight, the backlash shows no signs of slowing down. Whether it’s love or a publicity stunt, one thing’s certain the internet never forgets.
