Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, famously known as 2Baba, has addressed the controversy surrounding recent posts on his Instagram account regarding his separation from his wife, Annie Idibia.
Speculations about the authenticity of the posts began circulating after conflicting messages appeared on the account, leaving fans and followers puzzled. In a video shared via his Instagram story on Sunday night, 2Baba clarified the situation, confirming that the initial post about his separation was indeed made by him.
This revelation has further fueled discussions about the status of his 13-year marriage to Annie, which has been admired by fans for its resilience and charm.
The initial post, which took social media by storm, announced the end of 2Baba and Annie’s marriage in a direct yet emotional tone. “Hello to my beautiful people of all federations,” it began. “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 for divorce.”
The post further promised that the musician would address the matter in greater detail soon, adding, “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.” The candid tone of the announcement struck a chord with many, sparking an outpouring of reactions online.
Shortly after the post went viral, another message appeared on the same Instagram account, claiming that the page had been hacked. The post stated, “My Instagram account has been hacked, efforts are being carried out to take back control. #onelove!”
This contradictory message added a layer of confusion, as fans debated whether the earlier announcement was genuine or a result of unauthorized activity on 2Baba’s account.
Many took to social media to express their thoughts, with some questioning the sudden reversal and others speculating about the state of the musician’s personal life.
In a surprising twist, 2Baba posted a video later that night, setting the record straight. Speaking directly to his fans, the music icon confirmed that his account had not been hacked, directly contradicting the earlier claim.
He suggested that the initial post about his separation from Annie was, in fact, authentic. This admission left fans with mixed emotions, as it not only validated the original announcement but also raised questions about why the hacking claim was made in the first place.
The unfolding drama has once again thrust 2Baba and Annie’s marriage into the spotlight, a relationship that has faced its fair share of public scrutiny over the years.
Married since 2012, the couple has been viewed as a symbol of perseverance, weathering various storms in their relationship. The news of their separation, now confirmed by 2Baba himself, has deeply resonated with fans, many of whom expressed sadness and support for both parties as they navigate this challenging time.
This clarification from 2Baba has not only confirmed the authenticity of the separation announcement but also brought into focus the complex dynamics of public figures’ personal lives.
While many fans appreciate the musician’s honesty and willingness to share his side of the story, others have called for privacy and respect for both 2Baba and Annie as they handle this personal matter. Social media has been abuzz with discussions, ranging from sympathy for the couple to debates about the pressures of maintaining a high-profile relationship.
As the story continues to unfold, 2Baba’s promise to issue a detailed press release remains highly anticipated. His acknowledgment of his fans’ importance and his desire to clarify his position reflect his deep connection with his audience.
For now, fans are left to reflect on the bittersweet reality that even the most celebrated unions can face challenges, and they await further updates from one of Africa’s most beloved musical icons.
