In a shocking revelation that has taken fans and the media by surprise, Nigerian musician Innocent “2Baba” Idibia has announced his decision to file for divorce from his wife, Annie Macaulay Idibia. In a post that has since been deleted, 2Baba confirmed that he and Annie have been separated “for a while now” and are currently in the process of ending their marriage. His brief statement also hinted at an upcoming, more detailed explanation about his side of the story, though he emphasized that it was not out of obligation but rather out of respect for his fans.
2Baba’s announcement comes after several months of public scrutiny regarding the state of his marriage. The couple’s relationship has been under the microscope ever since they made their debut on Netflix’s Young, Famous, and African. The series, which showcases the lives of affluent Africans, further fueled online debates about their marriage, with many noting their on-screen tension. The third season of the show heightened the controversy as 2Baba notably did not appear alongside Annie, adding more fuel to speculation about their troubled relationship.
Annie has been open about the complexities of being married to the superstar, sharing intimate details of their journey together on the show. Their love story, which began long before 2Baba’s rise to fame, has been filled with highs and lows, including Annie’s own experiences of being a mother, wife, and a public figure. Over the years, the couple’s relationship had garnered attention due to 2Baba’s past relationships and Annie’s candid discussions of how they navigated those challenges.
In his recent statement, 2Baba promised a more thorough press release to come, but he also made it clear that his personal life was not something he felt obligated to disclose. Nonetheless, his need to speak out, he explained, was driven by his desire to ensure his fans understood his perspective, whether it involved innocence or mistakes. This message, though brief, reflects his commitment to maintaining transparency with his supporters despite the private nature of the matter.
2Baba and Annie’s marriage had been the epitome of glamour, especially with their lavish Dubai wedding in 2012. As they move towards an official separation, many fans are left wondering how the unfolding drama will affect their personal and professional lives moving forward. This development marks the end of what was once seen as one of Nigeria’s most beloved celebrity unions.
