Musician 2Face Idibia made an unexpected appearance at the Edo State House of Assembly on Monday, an event that quickly escalated into chaos.
Seated in the gallery before lawmakers had taken their seats, the presence of the renowned ‘African Queen’ singer disrupted proceedings so much that he was forced to put his face down.
Authorities eventually restored order in the assembly.
Amid the commotion, rumours swirled that 2Face is romantically involved with Natasha Osawaru, a member of the Edo State House of Assembly.
However, the lawmaker swiftly denied the allegations through her spokesperson, Eseosa Okundia, who stated that the rumour is “false and baseless” and “fallacy at its peak.”
Adding fuel to the fire, days after announcing his separation from longtime partner Annie Idibia, née Macaulay, 2Face was spotted leaving a nightclub accompanied by a mystery woman.
The 49-year-old musician had earlier confirmed the end of his marriage to Annie last month, remarking:
“I and Annie Macaulay have been separated for a while now and currently filed for divorce.
“I would grant a press release soon to say my story. Not because it is anyone’s right to know about my personal life but because I love my people and I need them to know my innocence or offence.”
Their marriage has been consistently marred by rumours of divorce, following allegations of infidelity made by Annie.
