The news of Nigerian music legend 2Baba announcing his separation and impending divorce from his wife, Annie Macaulay-Idibia, has set social media ablaze, with reactions pouring in from fans and celebrities alike. The announcement, made on January 26, 2025, on 2Baba’s Instagram page, has drawn both shock and outrage, sparking an intense online conversation.
Among those who voiced their opinions was media personality Toke Makinwa, who expressed her disapproval of 2Baba’s decision to make the announcement public. In the comment section of his post, Toke passionately declared her support for Annie, writing:
“This is wrong on all levels, and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here. Bring it on; if you think she’s all alone, let me tell you here that you’ll have to fight us all.”
Toke didn’t stop there, taking to her Instagram stories to add:
“I’m not one for too much talk, but what is wrong is wrong. As a woman, if you sit on the fence on this one, it’ll miss you, but it’ll touch your daughter or any female in your family. No one is innocent, and if you want to bring the media into it knowing what is happening, we will fight for her.”
Another vocal supporter of Annie was former BBNaija star Khloe, who expressed her disbelief and anger in the comments:
“This period? Like this time? This season? Oh hell no. See ehn, make I just no talk anything right now. Make this be a prank o! Men… Fight Annie, fight all of us o. Love is really wicked. Men ahhh.”
Ifedayo Agoro, founder of Diary of a Naija Girl (DANG), also joined the conversation, sharing a strong critique of 2Baba’s actions. She lamented the timing and manner of the announcement, particularly in light of the public scrutiny Annie has endured over the years.
“First, they groom you, then you lose yourself, and then they dump you. I am so angry! I never involve myself with things like this, but this is disgusting behavior by this man. In the time when this woman is being bashed, you had to say this? Knowing you constantly humiliated her publicly since I was 18 years old? Why now? Why heap more fire on her reputation? Never, ever, ever choose a man over yourself. No one is indispensable! Gosh.”
The flood of reactions underscores the deep connection fans and celebrities feel toward the couple, whose love story has long been a subject of admiration and speculation. While 2Baba has promised to release a detailed statement explaining the situation, many are siding with Annie, offering her words of encouragement and support as she navigates this challenging period.
As the conversation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: this story has struck a chord, reigniting debates about love, loyalty, and public accountability in relationships under the spotlight.
