Afrobeats artist Innocent Idibia, widely recognized as 2baba, surprised social media users by revealing that he and his wife, Annie Idibia, have been living apart for some time and have initiated divorce proceedings.

He disclosed this information in a video posted on his Instagram account on Sunday.

He said: “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.

Mr. 2Baba has indicated that a press release will be forthcoming, clarifying his position to the public.

“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”

Following the sharing of this story, an Instagram post emerged stating that his account had been compromised and that he is actively attempting to recover it. This sparked a debate among his fans on social media.

“My Instagram account has been hacked, efforts are being carried out to take back control. #onelove!”

Subsequently, another post appeared, asserting that the account had not been compromised and that the previous post was accurate.

“Hey, my people, nobody hacked my account; I said what I said. I come in peace.”

Annie and 2baba celebrated the arrival of their first child, Isabella, in 2008.

On Valentine’s Day in 2012, he proposed to Annie. The couple held a private wedding later that year, followed by a white wedding in Dubai in March 2013.

In 2014, they welcomed their second child, Olivia.
