2Baba confirms separation from wife Annie Idibia in recent video announcement
Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has publicly confirmed his separation from his wife, Annie Idibia.
This announcement was made through a video shared on his Instagram story, where he addressed the controversy surrounding an earlier post that declared the end of their 13-year marriage.
Initial announcement
The separation incident began when 2Baba posted a message on Instagram stating that he and Annie had been separated for some time and had filed for divorce.
The post expressed his intention to provide further clarification in a press release, emphasizing that while it is not anyone’s right to know about his personal life, he felt compelled to share his truth with his fans. The initial message read:
“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 currently 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 offense. Stay blessed my people. I love you all.”
Contradictory claims
Shortly after this initial announcement of separation, another post appeared on the same account claiming that 2Baba’s Instagram page had been hacked. This second message stated: “My Instagram account has been hacked, efforts are being carried out to take back control. #onelove!”

In this video, he stated emphatically: “No body hacked my account, na me talk wetin I won talk” (“Nobody hacked my account; I said what I said”). This statement reaffirmed that the news of their separation was genuine.
Public reaction
The revelation has sparked reactions from fans and followers on social media platforms.
