A fresh video has stirred talk around 2Baba. In the clip, the Afrobeats icon introduces Natasha Osawaru at a lively club in the United Kingdom. He holds a mic, looks relaxed, and speaks with pride. “This is my African Queen,” he says, as the room cheers.
The pair share a close embrace in the footage. They wear shades and warm layers and look at ease. Supporters clap and lift phones as the moment lands. The scene is short, but the message feels clear.
Club moment draws cheers and online debate
The introduction comes after a busy few weeks for the star. He has faced rumours and brisk headlines in London. Days ago, he denied an arrest claim with a blunt video reply, urging calm and truth in the chatter. See our recap of that London arrest claim denial for context and quotes from his clip (2Baba denies London arrest claim).
Meanwhile, Natasha Osawaru is in the public eye herself. She is an Edo State lawmaker and appears to be expecting a child. Her supporters point to recent clips that showed a visible bump. The club moment, they say, felt sweet and bold.
Why “African Queen” carries heavy history
The phrase “African Queen” is not casual in his story. On 15 May 2004, 2Baba released the timeless love song “African Queen”. The single helped launch his solo rise and shaped his global reach. The music video notably featured his then partner, actress Annie Macaulay.
That old link gives today’s scene a sharp edge. Some fans call the new line romantic and fair. Others read it as a deep shift in his public life. The reactions range from joy to shock, with many asking for grace and privacy.
The timing also lands near major milestones. He turned fifty last month, drawing warm tributes from the State House. Read our short piece on the Presidency note hailing African Queen legacy for the full message and key lines (Tinubu congratulates 2Baba at 50).
For now, the video stands on its own. A simple line, a public setting, and a known title. It blends nostalgia with a new chapter and keeps the talk loud. As ever, the star lets a few words carry the weight
