Natasha Osawaru, the new partner of Nigerian music icon Tuface Idibia, has addressed the controversy surrounding the singer’s use of her traditional beads. In an interview with Stella Korkus, Natasha debunked claims that the beads were used to exert a spiritual hold over Tuface, explaining their cultural and sentimental significance instead.

Natasha revealed that the beads were gifts from her family, symbolizing her royal heritage. “Those beads were my birthday gifts. They represent a princess from a royal family. You know I’m from the Igbinedion Royal Family,” she said. She further explained that the beads, known as ‘EZENEKA’ (meaning ‘River that never runs dry’), were given to her by her mother and grandfather.

“The one on his neck was given to me by my grandfather. You know my grandfather was a knight to the Queen of England. The Queen of England gave it to him when she was alive,” Natasha added. She emphasized that the beads hold no spiritual or diabolical significance, as some have speculated.

Tuface’s Choice to Wear the Beads

Natasha clarified that Tuface chose to wear the beads himself, refuting claims that she imposed them on him. “They are just traditional beads, and he just wore them because he likes them. I didn’t wear them on him; he chose to wear them,” she stated. She also pointed out that Tuface has a long-standing affinity for beads, having worn various types in the past.

Response to Allegations of Spiritual Manipulation

The clarification comes after Tuface’s mother, Rose Idibia, accused Natasha of using the beads to spiritually control her son. Rose had claimed that Tuface was under Natasha’s spell, sparking widespread speculation and debate.

Natasha’s explanation aims to set the record straight, emphasizing the cultural and personal value of the beads rather than any alleged mystical properties. Her statement highlights the importance of understanding cultural traditions and dispelling misconceptions in the public eye.

As the story continues to unfold, Natasha’s interview provides a deeper insight into the relationship dynamics and the cultural significance behind the beads, while addressing the rumors that have surrounded the couple.
