The Edo state lawmaker Natasha Osawaru has addressed allegations that she gifted singer 2Baba beads that were spiritually strengthened.
The accusations first came to light in February after 2Baba’s mother, Rose Idibia, publicly begged Natasha to stop bothering her son.
She further claimed that the singer was not in his right mind and requested her to “take off the beads you put on his hands and neck.”
The legislator refuted accusations that the beads were “diabolical” in a recent interview, claiming that they were representations of her family’s regal status.
She explained that the hand bracelets represented her family’s royal heritage, while the necklace was a gift from her grandfather, who served as a knight to the late Queen of England.
Natasha also clarified that she did not give 2Baba the beads, but rather he liked them and wore them of his own accord.
“Those beads were given to me on my birthday, they represent a princess from a royal family, You know i am from the Igbinedion royal family. On my last birthday, my mum gave me three nice beads, they call it ‘Ezeneka, ‘which means river that never runs dry,” she said.
“The pearl on his neck was given to me by my grandad, the Queen of England gave it to him when she was alive. You know my grandad was a knight to the Queen of England, so they are just traditional beads, he liked them and wore them.
“There is nothing to it and are not diabolical and do not also contain juju. I did not wear them on him, he saw them and liked them and wore them, if you observe you will see that he likes beads a lot and has been wearing several before now.”
