Innocent Idibia and Annie Macaulay have ended their 12-year-old marriage
Legendary Nigerian musician, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has made headlines with a shocking announcement on social media regarding the end of his marriage to Annie Macaulay.
On January 26, 2025, 2Baba took to his Instagram stories to state that he and Annie have been separated for some time and have now officially 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… Annie Macaulay and I have been separated for a while now, and we’ve currently filed for divorce.”
2Baba further explained that he will release a formal statement soon, not because it is anyone’s business but because he wants to clear the air about his actions.
“I will grant a press release soon to share 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 added.
The couple’s 12-year marriage has been in the public eye, particularly with claims of infidelity involving 2Baba.
It will be recalled that Annie recently disclosed that she met 2Baba when she was a teenager, adding that he has been the only man she has ever been with.
However, she said even after their marriage, 2Baba fathered children with two other women.
Annie, in an emotional moment during the second season of the Young, Famous and African Netflix series, disclosed that after their marriage, her first child with 2Baba was his fifth.
2Baba has three children with Pero Adeniyi, his baby mama in the United States, and two children with another woman, Sumbo Ajaba.
Annie disclosed how she discovered 2Baba was still visiting his other baby mamas, especially Pero, and still having affairs with them.
Despite these struggles, Annie’s mental health reportedly suffered, and she became a target of mockery on social media, with some netizens criticising her for staying in a marriage where 2Baba had destroyed her with toxicity.
The couple’s issues escalated when 2Baba openly stated that men, including himself, are “wired” to sleep with multiple women, even if they are married.
“Like it or not, men are wired like that. A man will love a woman to hell. But maybe he is somewhere, he would just decide to sleep with someone. A man will love a woman to hell. But maybe when he is somewhere, he would just decide to sleep with someone,” he said during a conversation with Annie and the ‘Young, Famous and African ‘cast.
Despite these red flags, Annie decided to renew her marriage vows with 2Baba in 2022.
However, just over two years later, their marriage has come to an end.
The couple birthed two daughters, Isabel and Olivia Idibia.
