The cast of Young, Famous & African has come together in support of their fellow cast member, Annie Macaulay Idibia, following reports that her husband, Nigerian music legend Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, has filed for divorce.
The news first surfaced when a statement announcing the couple’s separation was posted on 2Baba’s official social media account. However, confusion quickly followed when the post was deleted, and a new statement claimed that his account had been hacked.
Fans were left wondering about the truth until 2Baba released a video message clarifying that his account had not been compromised, indirectly confirming the reality of their separation. This development has since sparked widespread reactions, with many expressing their support for Annie.
Among those standing by Annie is South African actress and musician Khanyi Mbau, 39, who took to her Instagram Stories to criticize 2Baba’s handling of the situation. She did not hold back in her words, stating, “Nothing makes me sick like a man who runs to social media when things go south in his relationship.”
She went on to call out 2Baba directly, adding, @official2baba disgusting! ANNIE DOES NOT WALK ALONE.” In an additional message, Khanyi encouraged Annie to stay strong despite the storm she was facing.
“Raz, put on your rain boots and go feel the rain on your skin. You will weather this storm! Make friends with the silence. It will teach you a lot. @annieidibia YOU ARE THE MOMENT.” Her posts immediately went viral, resonating with many fans who applauded her unwavering support for Annie.
Ugandan socialite and businesswoman Zari Hassan, 44, also made her support for Annie clear through an emotional Instagram post. She shared a photo of herself with Annie and captioned it, “AFRICA loves you baby girl @annieidibia1.”
The message was simple yet powerful, reinforcing the idea that Annie has an entire continent rallying behind her. Zari’s post quickly garnered thousands of likes and comments from fans, who praised her for standing in solidarity with Annie during such a difficult time.
As someone who has been in the public eye for years and has dealt with her own share of high-profile relationships, Zari’s words carried significant weight, reminding Annie that she is not alone in her struggles.
Their statements come in response to 2Baba’s shocking revelation on Sunday, January 26, 2025, in which he announced that he and Annie had been separated for some time and had recently filed for divorce.
The veteran singer initially stated on Instagram that he would soon release a statement to explain his side of the story. “My fans deserve to know the truth about what has transpired between Annie and me. I will address this in due time,” he wrote. However, when he later deleted the post and claimed that his page had been hacked, it raised more questions than answers.
Hours later, he contradicted himself by releasing a video message affirming that the separation and divorce were indeed true. This back-and-forth has only fueled speculation about the real reasons behind their split.
As the situation unfolds, reactions continue to pour in from fans and fellow celebrities, with many taking sides in the ongoing drama. While some sympathize with 2Baba, others, like Khanyi and Zari, have publicly aligned themselves with Annie, recognizing the emotional and mental toll that such a publicized separation can take.
The support Annie has received is a testament to her resilience and the impact she has made in the entertainment industry. With friends and colleagues standing by her, she is undoubtedly surrounded by love and encouragement as she navigates this difficult chapter in her life.
