Honourable Natasha, the fiancée of controversial veteran singer, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2face or 2baba, has stirred up public reactions after she introduced herself to her colleagues in the Edo State House of Assembly.

The 30-year-old lawmaker, during plenary, has been caught in a now-circulating video clip saying, “Mr Speaker, my name is Honourable Natasha Irobosa Osawaru nee Idibia” shortly before she burst into laughter.

This threw the House into a brief state of frenzy as she was teased for the proclamation and interrupted several times.

Global superstar Drake has become the artist with the most cumulative weeks on the Billboard 200 chart.

The Grammy winner surpassed the previous record held by iconic band The Beatles thanks to his recent collaborative album with PartyNextDoor ‘$ome $exy 4 U’ which became his 14th NO. 1 album as a soloist.

Drake’s 14th NO. 1 Billboard 200 topping album saw him equal hip hop icon Jay Z and Pop music megastar Taylor Swift as joint second.

‘$ome $exy 4 U’ is Drake’s first album since his iconic beef with Kendrick Lamar which resulted in the hit record ‘Not Like Us’ that became the subject of a lawsuit against Univeral Music Group.

In his petition against the label he is signed to, Drake accused the company of failing to stop the release of a song that contained injurious falsehoods about him.

He also claimed UMG used bots and other unethical means to inflate the Spotify streams of the song to make it more popular than it is.

2025 is expected to be a busy year for Drake who was recently announced as the highest-selling rapper of 2024 by IFPI.

The Canadian history-breaking artist is also the second best-selling artist of 2024 behind Taylor Swift, who topped the list for the third consecutive year and fifth overall time.
