All is not well in the paradise of Nigeria’s music legend Innocent Tuface Idibia and his wife, Annie Macaulay-Idibia. The duo has been arguably one of the most admired and respectable celebrity couples in the country but Annie Idibia seemed not to care about all that as she has dragged her husband on social media, accusing him of having an affair with his first baby mama, Pero Adeniyi.
No one saw this coming, however, the actress, in a series of Instagram Stories on Thursday night, September 2, 2021, stunned Nigerians as she unleashed her anger on the African Queen crooner over his relationship with the mother of three out of his seven kids, Pero. She suggested that there is more between them than just being cordial and that she is tired of playing the fool.
In the IG rant, Annie Idibia also said that even though she had been married to the iconic musician for years now his family has never welcomed her as one of them despite her efforts to be on the same page with them. She also said his other baby manas use their children with the superstar to gain access to him for other reasons.
“What kind of man takes his kids to Disney and spend nights in the same apartment with his kids and their mother? How many times have you gone to see your kids with Pero? and she stays with you and the kids under the same roof for nights? Or is it when your brother @hi.idibia housed you, your kids, and Pero under the roof ??! I can go on and on!
“Your baby mamas constantly use your children as an excuse for all sorts of rubbish. I try to stay gracious. You are not the first man on the planet to have kids by different women. You can do better. Everything I do is to show the good human that you are. But today, this move done by you, Efe, Frankie, and your family is unacceptable.
“I am a patient woman. I am not a fool, Innocent. Your family never loved me from the beginning. No matter how hard I tried. I was never worthy to them. I have made so many sacrifices for you and all your children. God knows I have I tried.”
This drama may be put off as a PR stunt initially as Nigerians have seen this kind of thing play out over and over again. But as this came to light on Thursday night, social media investigators quickly went to her Instagram bio page and realized that the actress has actually deleted her husband’s name from her bio. The name which initially read “Annie Macaulay Idibia” now reads “Annie Macaulay”.
In another twist, Annie Idibia’s elder brother seems to be distancing himself from whatever is happening as he publicly disassociated himself from his sister. A video that was shared by Tuface’s brother, Charles Idibia, shows Annie’s brother, Uduak, saying he does not want to be associated with his sister or her brand going forward.
It is not clear how the video is related to whatever is happening in the Tubaba family. It is also unclear when the video was shot – whether before the current unfortunate events or after Annie Idibia called out her husband on IG.
However, at the time of this report, the Implication hitmaker, Tuface Idibia is yet to respond to the ongoing saga.
Chimamanda Adichie announces the birth of her twins at 47
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the multi-award-winning Nigerian author has announced the birth of her twins with husband, Ivara Esege.
She made the good news known during her interview with The Guardian where she also spoke about her new book, Dream Count, cancel culture, and other topics.
The 47-year-old author revealed that she welcomed her twins months ago but kept the news private because she wanted to protect her children.
Chimamanda disclosed that many didn’t know she got married in 2009, noting further that Nigerians are nosy people, making her hesitant to talk about her family.
Addressing the interviewer, Charlotte Edwardes, Chimamanda said, “You’ve met my babies. I want to protect my children. I’m OK with mentioning them, but I don’t want the piece to become about them.
“So, here’s the thing, Nigerians are nosy, they want to know about your personal life. Because of that, I am resistant. I very rarely talk about it.
The mother of three, also spoke about cancel culture as she reflected on the massive backlash she received for her remarks about trans women in 2017. For the remarks, her career took a huge blow.
She had been asked during the 2017 interview whether a transgender woman was “any less of a real woman”. Her response was, “A trans woman is a trans woman”.
However, speaking about cancel culture in her latest interview, Chimamanda described it as bad, saying it should be stopped.
“What do I want to say about cancel culture? Cancel culture is bad. We should stop it. End of story”.
Chimamanda is married to Ivara Esege, a Nigerian doctor. The lovebirds tied the knot in 2009 and welcomed their first daughter in 2016.
Nedu Steps Aside From The Honest Bunch Podcast Amidst Sex-For-Roles Controversy
After finding himself in the heart of recent controversy, Nigerian media personality Nedu Wazobia has resigned from the popular podcast ‘The Honest Bunch.’
In a statement shared on Instagram on February 14, 2025, Nedu said hosting the podcast had been a great experience, but the recent constant scrutiny and false accusations had become too much for him.
He wrote, “The past week has brought a lot into perspective for me. Hosting The Honest Bunch Podcast has been an incredible journey—one built on open conversations, bold perspectives, and the willingness to tackle difficult topics. But with that responsibility has come an overwhelming level of scrutiny, antagonism, and unfounded accusations that have now begun to take a personal toll.”
He explained that stepping down was a tough choice but necessary for his peace of mind and the future of the show
In light of recent events, I have made the difficult decision to step away from the podcast. This is not a decision I take lightly, but one I believe is necessary—for my peace of mind, for my family, and for the integrity of the show itself. I have always been committed to honest conversations, but when those conversations lead to relentless attacks and misrepresentation, it becomes clear that stepping back is the best path forward.
I sincerely hope this decision brings an end to the negativity surrounding my name and allows The Honest Bunch Podcast to continue thriving.
His resignation comes amid controversy stirred by social media critic Martins Ortse, aka VeryDarkMan, who accused him of demanding sex for movie roles from a female content creator, Jojo.
VeryDarkMan made the claim amid his ongoing face-off with stand-up comedian, Deeone who had claimed to have evidence that VeryDarkMan was gay during a recent appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Deeone.
VeryDarkMan then threatened to release the names of all celebrities Nedu had allegedly slept with in exchange for roles.
Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, better known as Tuface, has proposed marriage to the Deputy Majority Leader of Edo state House of Assembly, Natasha Osawaru.
Natasha is the granddaughter of billionaire Gabriel Igbinedion.
In a viral video on Thursday, the visibly excited Tuface shared a warm hug with the lawmaker, sprayed money on her and they both danced before he brought out a ring to put on her finger while friends and well-wishers who were around cheered on.
This comes just a day after the singer set social media agog with a video on Instagram confirming his romantic relationship with the Edo State lawmaker.
His confirmation of the relationship with Natasha followed an earlier announcement of separation from his wife, Annie.
While fans kept speculating about 2baba’s relationship with the Edo Lawmaker, the singer appeared at the Edo State House of Assembly on Monday.
However, in the video he posted early Wednesday morning, the singer set the record straight by stating his intention to marry the lawmaker.
He also stated that his relationship with the lawmaker has nothing to do with the marital tension between him and Annie.
He said: “I said what I said. All of us will be alright… Honourable Natasha, I see she has been dragged, she has been called all sorts of names. She has been labelled as a home breaker. She is a young, brilliant and amazing woman.
“She has nothing to do with what’s happening between me and Annie. But I see everybody trying to want to rope her into everything allegedly. Yes, I love her. She is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her.”
