Innocent Idibia, widely known as 2Baba or Tuface, has confirmed his separation from his wife, Annie Idibia, marking the end of one of Nigeria’s most celebrated celebrity marriages.
The couple, who married in 2012 and share two daughters, had long been admired for overcoming past challenges.
However, in an Instagram post—later deleted—2Baba announced they had been separated for some time and were in the process of divorcing.
The African Queen hitmaker later went live on Instagram to confirm the announcement, dismissing rumors that his account had been hacked.
“No-one hacked my account. I said what I said. I come in peace,” he stated.
2Baba and Annie’s relationship gained public attention through the music video for African Queen, where Annie played his love interest.
Their star-studded wedding in Dubai in 2013 became a landmark event, cementing their status as one of Nigeria’s most beloved power couples.
Despite public admiration, their relationship has faced scrutiny over the years.
Annie, an actress, opened up about marital struggles, including a miscarriage and challenges involving 2Baba’s relationships outside their marriage, during her appearance on the reality series Young, Famous & African.
The news has shocked fans across the continent, as the couple was seen as a beacon of resilience in the entertainment industry.
Their separation follows years of speculation about their marriage, with many hoping they had weathered the storm.
2Baba, regarded as a pioneer of the global Afrobeat movement, hinted at holding a press conference to provide further details about the split.
He emphasized his commitment to sharing his perspective directly with fans.
The couple has also unfollowed each other on social media, further confirming the breakup.
While the separation marks the end of a significant chapter in both their lives, 2Baba remains a towering figure in African music, with his legacy inspiring artists like Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
Fans worldwide will now watch closely as both 2Baba and Annie navigate their next steps, both personally and professionally.
