Legit.ng earlier reported that 2Baba left many puzzled after he shared a new video attempting to clarify his situation following a public appeal for help that sparked concern on social media.
The confusion began on Wednesday, December 3, when 2Baba briefly posted a cryptic message on his Instagram Story that read: “Help me.”
The post, which was deleted minutes later, immediately triggered speculation about the singer’s well-being, especially after reports circulated about an altercation between him and his new wife, Natasha Osawaru, during Daddy Freeze’s live video.
Unconfirmed reports of his arrest in the UK also fueled uproar online.

In a new video that has since gone viral, 2Baba attempted to calm the situation, but ended up raising even more questions.
“This is getting out of hand, and it's a dangerous situation right now,” he said at the start of the clip. “I am perfectly okay… And this is putting Natasha at risk. It’s not fair on anybody to do this kind of thing.” The singer repeatedly pleaded with fans, friends, and family to “calm down” and “cease fire,” insisting that he was fine and that the matter was being exaggerated.
“People get issues for house, but this is getting out of hand,” he added. “Please, I beg you… I am perfectly fine. I did not post that post. Please, please, I’m okay.”
While 2Baba stressed that he was safe and urged the public to stop spreading alarming narratives, many fans said the video did not fully address the concerns raised by his earlier cry for help.
In related news, Legit.ng reported that the singer’s younger brother, Hyacinth Idibia, publicly expressed deep concern for him.
Hyacinth took to his Instagram Stories to share an emotional message, hinting at the strain his brother might be going through.
"Painful reality, allow us to save you, Oyinem. You’ve been suffering for too long. God knows," he wrote.
