Nigerian Singer 2Baba Announces Divorce From Wife Annie

Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, widely known by his stage name Tuface or 2Baba, has publicly announced his divorce from his wife of 13 years, Annie Macaulay Idibia.

The revelation, which has surprised fans and the entertainment industry, was initially shared on Tuface’s Instagram account in a post that was later deleted, fueling speculation and mixed reactions online.

In the now-deleted post, the ‘African Queen’ hitmaker revealed that he and Annie had been separated for some time and had recently filed for divorce.

He wrote: “Hello to my beautiful people of all federations. well, this thing I have to say is short but also long… I and Annie Macaulay have been separated for a while now and have recently filed for 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 offence. stay blessed, my people. I love you all.”

Moments after the post gained traction, it was deleted, leaving fans confused. This was followed by an initial claim that his account had been hacked. However, in a video shared on his Instagram Stories late Sunday night, Tuface clarified that the post about his separation was indeed written and posted by him, effectively dismissing earlier reports of hacking.

The Young, Famous And African stars share two children together, and have been in the spotlight for years, with their relationship often making headlines for its ups and downs. The couple’s journey has been far from smooth, weathering storms ranging from infidelity rumours to public family disputes. Despite these challenges, they had long been seen as one of Nigeria’s most admired celebrity couples.

The couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Dubai in 2012, following years of dating and a relationship that had begun before Tuface’s rise to fame.

Annie, a Nollywood actress, has often spoken about the trials of being married to one of Africa’s most celebrated musicians on the hit reality TV series with many advising her to leave her marriage.
