Star artiste Tuface’s popular slogan is ‘No shaking.’ Ironically, the man is currently shaking.
Something appears to be shaking him and someone is indeed shaking him.
That is Edo lawmaker, Natasha Osawaru, the lady who seems to have so much snatched his heart that he can arguably no longer sleep without seeing her.
Observers are divided over the relationship and the way Tuface is carrying it on his head.
Psychologists are speaking. Marriage experts, counsellors, lay commentators — all are speaking right and left.
The matter is a bit compounded by Tuface’s recently failed marriage with Annie, plus his heavy profile with women.
Only last week, shortly after declaring that it was over between him and Annie, the yesterday’s coolest chpice from a bevy of baby mamas, he was in Benin, Edo State capital, where he attended a plenary in the state House of Assembly of which Natasha is a member.
For him, there is nothing bad in following one’s love anywhere.
Days after, he declared Natasha is the current owner of his heart, just as a video has now been released showing the musician proposing to the honorable babe.
The question is, based on his long history with women, why is Tuface shaking up and down because of Natasha?
Some who reason with him say he must have gone through a lot in the hands of Annie. So, he quickly needs to heal.
On the other hand, some see his actions as wicked since Annie is said to be psychologically pressured due to the marital crisis.
They say even if he wants to give his body, mind and soul to Natasha, he ought not to take it to social media.
Yet, others say everything is fair in love, as it is in politics. Perhaps love, if not marriage, is also war in another garb?
Hmmm.
Amid the heated vapour, a few people are also arguing that Tuface may be chasing power in Natasha’s kingdom.
Here, they fear that the artiste may no more be as financially and socially powerful as he used to be, since his music is no more atop charts.
So, they think the woman, who is also from a rich home apart from legislative largesse, is the right darling for him now.
All of these, however, remain speculations because Tuface has made his own decision and he has made it public.
While he has said that he and Annie has an understanding concerning the state of their union, he has also highlighted some virtues that Natasha possesses, which might then have rattled his soul.
Hear him (stet): “She is a young brilliant amazing woman and she had nothing to do with what is happening between me and Annie in our marriage.
“Yes I love her, she is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her.”
Case closed?
