Celebrities rally behind 2Baba’s wife Annie Idibia amid divorce saga
Nigerian music icon, Innocent Idibia, alias 2Baba, recently shared a now-deleted Instagram post announcing his separation from his wife, actress Annie Idibia, and their decision to file for divorce.
The post sparked widespread reactions from fans and celebrities, many of whom have shown support for Annie during this challenging time.
In the deleted post, 2Baba wrote, “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.”
Following the announcement, several public figures spoke up for Annie. Media personality Toke Makinwa expressed her disappointment with 2Baba’s decision to go public, stating, “Nobody is asking anybody to stay in a situation that’s not serving them anymore, by all means leave if you must, but why bring this online this very moment? We know what is going on behind closed doors… timing is everything, empathy is everything. You constantly preach love; you cannot add to the narrative that’s out there when you know what is really happening.”
Actress Mary Njoku also showed support for Annie, reminding 2Baba that Annie has a strong family backing her. She wrote, “Bro, Annie has a family o! Your sisters-in-law are many, and we’ve stayed quiet out of respect for her tough choices. But since you’ve decided to humiliate her at her lowest, no wahala. Just make sure she’s healthy and okay. Because when the time comes, we’ll have plenty of questions for you!”
Actress Doris Ogala chimed in, suggesting that the marital issues have been ongoing for a while. “This thing is a projection on their marriage. It’s long overdue. Though Annie is not innocent, trust me, whatever she did was because she didn’t want to lose 2Baba. The victim here is 2Baba,” she stated.
Nollywood actress, Uche Elendu voiced disappointment towards 2baba’s public announcement of his separation from Annie.
“No love, No accountability, No loyalty, No culture, No bond, No memory, No decorum, No respect, No empathy. I am so disappointed at this betrayal and insensitive public announcement from 2face. At a time like this, love does not count errors.
“The public does not need this information, you are too big for public validation. A woman that locked in on your mess in the public space, IDGAF what goes on behind us, but what we see, we believe. Men will stain your white!!! Most of them forget so fast. Annie left her life for the man she loved, but love has failed her. It is well”, she said.
Big Brother Naija star, Nina Ivy, also expressed her opinion saying, “I can never, ever, ever be with a man who seeks public validation-never. A man who would dare to use my lowest moments to taunt me on social media? Not. A man who wouldn’t prioritise or support my mental health? Never, ever. Emphasis on never.
“Ladies, you deserve peace and respect in a relationship. Being with someone who values your well-being, supports you privately and publicly, and nurtures your mental health is essential. A man who seeks public validation or uses your vulnerabilities against you shows a lack of emotional maturity and empathy. Protecting your peace and setting those boundaries is powerful.
“When the whole world is against me and the pressure from others is on the rise, I don’t care what issues we’ve had or are still having. As a human being, you should never use a person’s lowest moment to taunt them or add to their struggles. Period!”, she stated.
While 2Baba has yet to follow up with the promised press release, his post and its deletion have already brought up a lot of public conversations. Support for Annie continues to pour in from fans and industry colleagues, as the couple’s divorce saga unravels
