In a revelation that sent shockwaves through the digital landscape, Afrobeats icon Innocent Idibia, widely celebrated as 2Baba, disclosed that he and his wife, Annie Idibia, have been estranged for some time and have officially filed for divorce. This announcement was made via a video posted on his Instagram account on Sunday, leaving fans stunned and igniting widespread speculation.
Addressing his followers, 2Baba stated, “Greetings to my beloved people across all spheres. What I have to share is brief yet profound. Annie Macaulay and I have been separated for a while now, and we have taken the step of filing for divorce.”
The singer further assured his audience of an upcoming press release to clarify the circumstances surrounding the separation. He remarked, “I shall soon release a statement to narrate my side—not because I owe anyone an explanation about my personal life but because I deeply cherish my supporters. It’s imperative to share either my vindication or culpability. Remain blessed, my people. I hold you all dear to my heart.”
Shortly after the video surfaced, another Instagram post appeared on his account, claiming that the profile had been compromised and that efforts were underway to regain control. This development plunged his followers into a maelstrom of confusion and debate.
The post read, “My Instagram account has been hacked. Measures are in place to retrieve access. #OneLove!”
However, in a dramatic twist, a subsequent update contradicted the initial claim, affirming the legitimacy of the divorce announcement. “Hello, my people, my account wasn’t hacked. I stand by my words. I come in peace.”
The unfolding narrative has left fans divided, with many taking to social media to express their shock, offer support, or delve into speculative commentary about the couple’s journey.
Annie and 2Baba share a long and storied relationship, having welcomed their first child, Isabella, in 2008. The couple’s love story reached a high point when 2Baba proposed on Valentine’s Day in 2012, culminating in a private wedding that same year. Their union was celebrated with a lavish white wedding in Dubai in March 2013.
The current situation marks a significant chapter in their lives, with fans and well-wishers eagerly awaiting further details to unfold.
