Nigerian music icon Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has disclosed that he and his wife, Annie Macaulay-Idibia, are separated and awaiting divorce.
The Afrobeats legend announced the development in a post on his verified Instagram account on Sunday, January 26, 2025.
In the post, 2Baba confirmed that the duo had been separated for a while and recently filed a divorce.
The musician promised to issue a statement soon to tell his side of the story to his beloved fans, whom he said deserve to know what has transpired between him and his estranged wife.
“Hello to my beautiful people of all FEDERATIONS,” he wrote.
“WELL THIS THING I HAVE TO SAY IS SHORT BUT ALSO LONG…. I AND ANNIE MACAULAY HAVE BEEN SEPARATED FOR A WHILE NOW. AND CURRENTLY FILED DIVORCE…
“I WOULD GRANT A PRESS RELEASE SOON TO SAY MY STORY..NOT BECAUSE IT IS ANYONE’S RIGHT TO KNOW ABOUT MY PERSONAL LIFE; BUT BECAUSE I LOVE MY PEOPLE AND I NEED THEM TO KNOW MY INNOCENCE OR OFFENSE.
“STAY BLESSED MY PEOPLE. I LOVE YOU ALL,” 2Baba concluded
On January 26, 2024, when 2Baba was announced, Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa expressed her outrage and disappointment in his comment section, stressing that she was on Annie’s side.
She wrote, “This is wrong on all levels, and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here. Bring it on; if you think she’s all alone, let me tell you that you’ll have to fight us all here.”
I’m not one for too much talk, but what is wrong is wrong, and as a woman, if you sit on the fence on this one, if it misses you, it’ll touch your daughter or any female in your family. No one is innocent, and if you want to bring the media into it knowing what is happening, we will fight for her,” she added in another Instagram story post.
BBNaija star Khloe was also outraged by the announcement and voiced her support of Annie in the comment section.
This period? Like this time? This season? Oh hell no. See ehn, make I just no talk anything right now. Make this a prank o! Men.. Fight Annie, fight all of us o, Love is really wicked. Men ahhh.
Among the multitudes of comments was one from popular Nigerian entrepreneur Ifedayo Agoro, the founder of Diary of a Naija Girl (DANG), who was equally upset.
First, they groom you, then you lose yourself, and then they dump you. I am so angry! I never involve myself with things like this, but this is disgusting behavior by this man. In the time when this woman was being bashed, you had to say this? Knowing you constantly humiliated her publicity since I was 18 years old? Why now? Why heap more fire on her reputation? Never, ever, ever choose a man over yourself. No one is indispensable! Gosh
