When news and images of singer Tuface Idibia tying the knot with Honourable Natasha Osawaru surfaced online, the internet went into a frenzy. Known for keeping much of his personal life away from the spotlight in recent years, this traditional wedding has stunned fans, critics, and followers alike. The event, held in a private yet colorful setting, featured a rich blend of Idoma and Benin culture, symbolizing a union that was as traditional as it was unexpected.
In the released photos, Natasha looked absolutely radiant in a red wrapper laced with coral beads, her outfit paying homage to the vibrant culture of Benin. Tuface, calm and collected, wore a white traditional outfit with matching beads, standing tall beside his new bride. The two looked deeply connected, smiling with the quiet assurance of two people who knew they were doing something from the heart. Though whispers had been circulating about a close friendship between the music legend and the Edo State lawmaker, no one saw a full-blown marriage coming this soon.
Reports reveal that earlier in April, Tuface had taken Natasha to his hometown of Otukpo in Benue State where she was formally introduced to his family and received royal blessings from the Idoma traditional council. The bride-price was paid in Benin City, with close relatives and a few associates in attendance. Sources say that the Abuja ceremony where these viral photos were taken happened a few weeks later in July. It was kept extremely private, with cameras banned for most of the event until official pictures were released just days ago.
The timing of the wedding has raised eyebrows across social media, with many questioning the status of Tuface’s previous marriage to Annie Idibia. While neither party has made public statements about a separation or divorce, some fans feel blindsided while others believe the singer has simply chosen peace and maturity in his later years. Natasha, on her part, has remained graceful through the buzz, neither confirming nor denying any personal details except for reposting some congratulatory messages.
Social media reactions have ranged from surprise to support. On X, formerly known as Twitter, fans were quick to comment on the bride's elegance and the cultural beauty of the ceremony. Some expressed concern for Annie, while others applauded Tuface for keeping things traditional and respectful. “Love is unpredictable. If this is what brings him happiness, so be it,” a user wrote. Another fan simply posted, “Tuface no dey carry last.”
For a man who once dominated the airwaves with love songs like "African Queen" and “If Love Is a Crime,” this new chapter in his life feels like both a return to roots and a step into the unexpected. Natasha, known for her fiery presence in Edo politics, is not the typical celebrity spouse. She carries herself with political grace and appears unfazed by the sudden media spotlight. Their pairing is both unusual and somehow perfect—he, the soulful legend with decades of music history, and she, the rising star in Nigerian politics with a fearless voice.
While many questions remain unanswered, one thing is clear: this union is real, traditional, and bound to spark conversation for weeks to come. Whether it's love reborn or a fresh beginning, Tuface and Natasha have made their mark in both cultural and entertainment headlines. As fans and followers wait for an official statement, one cannot help but admire the poise with which the couple has handled this attention. This is one wedding that Nigeria will not forget in a hurry.
