2Baba, Nigerian music star, has announced his separation from wife Annie Macaulay-Idibia. In a post shared on Instagram Sunday, the singer confirmed that they’ve been apart for some time and are now pursuing a divorce.
2Baba addressed his fans in the post, writing: “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.”
He went on to explain that while this is a personal matter, he felt compelled to share it with his fans.
“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.”
The news comes as a shock to many, as 2Baba and Annie, who tied the knot in 2012, were widely regarded as a power couple in the Nigerian entertainment scene. They share two children together.
