The Edo State House of Assembly on Tuesday called the member representing Egor Constituency, Natasha Irobosa, to appear before its Ethics and Privileges Committee within one week.
The Assembly stated that she was invited to defend herself against allegations of wrongdoing lodged against her.
Chronicle NG gathered that the development comes amid rising controversy over the lawmaker’s relationship with music legend Innocent Idibia, also known as 2Baba.
Speaking in plenary, Speaker Blessing Agbebaku stated that Irobosa must explain why her actions had dragged the Assembly’s name “in the mud.”
He said, “Hon. Natasha Irobosa has been summoned to appear before the Ethics and Privilege Committee of the Assembly due to her recent conduct, which has been trending online.
“This conduct drags the name of the House into the mud, and it is the responsibility of members of the Assembly to conduct themselves well.
“This House has cerebral minds and educated people who have been dragged in the mud for too long by our colleague, Hon. Natasha. She has been trending on social media and television for the wrong reason.
“The House has members who know what they are doing, and the attitude of our member has brought this House to disrepute, and we will not tolerate it.”
The Speaker also stated that the committee would present its conclusions to the House within two weeks.
Meanwhile, 2Baba fans have voiced significant concern over the singer’s marriage in response to a series of alarming films that have circulated online.
One of the recordings seen by Chronicle NG on Tuesday showed the artiste and Natasha having a heated exchange during an Instagram Live session on Monday.
The live session, hosted by media personality Daddy Freeze, included members of 2Baba’s old management team discussing blocked foreign projects before the singer unexpectedly joined the show.
Moments after his arrival, he was heard questioning Natasha, asking, “What is your problem?”
The scene swiftly escalated, with Natasha appearing to try to take the phone as both parties raised their voices until the conversation was abruptly terminated.
The incident occurred shortly after another viral video showed the singer being detained and led away by police officials in the United Kingdom. The clip, provided by blogger Tosin Silverdam, shows officers interacting with 2Baba outside a retail store before escorting him away.
The viral videos have sparked significant concern among fans and industry observers, with many fearing the singer is going through a personal and marital crisis.
During the live session, 2Baba’s former management claimed that internal meddling had disrupted key worldwide plans. These included a UK tour, an African tour, stadium concerts, and government-sponsored engagements in other nations.
“You go out there to make your money; even if it’s 100,000 people listening, the money is enough to sustain you,” said his former manager, Kaka Igbokwe.
He stated that the team’s long-term goal was to raise 2Baba to the status of globally recognized African music icons.
“When I started working with 2Baba, my aim was for him to be larger. You can’t compare yourself to Burna Boy, but you can achieve what Angélique Kidjo has done. You can still do arenas,” he said.
During the unfolding drama, popular content creator Nasboi wrote an emotional note expressing his sadness over the singer’s current situation.
He said the recent clips were harmful to the peaceful, unassuming image 2Baba had built for decades.
“I’ve looked up to you since I was 16. I loved every bit of your music, your personality, and the humility you carried yourself with. In fact, you were one of the people who taught me what it means to be humble. You have had your criticism in the past, but your character and humility still stood tall,” he wrote.
Nasboi went on to say that the version of events being circulated online was foreign to “those of us who truly love and respect you” and urged the veteran artist to take control of the issue.
In a separate live session with Daddy Freeze, a female fan cried out for Nigerian males to intercede in 2Baba’s marriage.
“All Nigerian men should please come out and help him out of this,” she said.
“It’s so disheartening seeing my idol like this,” another fan, August Chris, wrote on X.
On his part, @Abraham_Gidi posted, “Honestly, this is a fact. I still find it hard to believe. I have loved and respected him since childhood, and it has stayed like that forever. Legend forever.”
Another X user, @ariyiB, said in a video posted on Tuesday, “2Baba should have stayed on his own since he left Annie. He already has enough kids. I am not happy with what I am seeing about him on social media.”
2Baba’s and Natasha’s relationship became public immediately after the musician ended his 12-year marriage to Annie Macaulay in January. He eventually introduced Natasha as his fiancée and publicly proposed to her on the eve of Valentine’s Day, February 14.
In July, the couple held a secret traditional wedding ceremony in Abuja.
