Afrobeats star Innocent Idibia, better known as 2baba, shocked fans on Sunday when he revealed in a video shared on Instagram that he and his wife, Annie Idibia, have been separated for some time and have filed for divorce.
The singer’s announcement stirred significant attention across social media.
“Hello to my beautiful people of all federations. Well, this thing I have to say is short but also long. Annie Macaulay and I have been separated for a while and have filed for divorce,” 2baba stated in the video.
He added that he would soon address the matter more thoroughly, explaining his side of the story to his fans.
“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,” he said.
Shortly after, an Instagram post was made claiming that his account had been hacked, which caused confusion among fans.
The post read, “My Instagram account has been hacked; efforts are being carried out to take back control. #onelove!”
However, the situation took another twist when 2baba shared a new post clarifying that his previous message about the separation and divorce was indeed genuine.
“Hey, my people, nobody hacked my account; I said what I said. I come in peace,” he clarified.
2baba and Annie have been together for years, welcoming their first child, Isabella, in 2008. He proposed to Annie on Valentine’s Day in 2012, and the couple married later that year, with a white wedding held in Dubai in March 2013.
They welcomed their second child, Olivia, in 2014.
The unexpected announcement of their separation has sparked widespread discussion, leaving fans awaiting more details.
