Nigerian music icon 2Baba, whose real name is Innocent Idibia, has publicly announced his separation from his wife, Annie Idibia. The couple, who tied the knot in 2012 and have two daughters, gained considerable fame as one of Nigeria's beloved celebrity pairs. The announcement came via an Instagram post, where 2Baba indicated that he and Annie had been apart for some time and had initiated divorce proceedings. Although the original post was deleted shortly after it was posted, 2Baba took to Instagram Live to confirm the accuracy of the statement, declaring, "No-one hacked my account, I said what I said, I come in peace." This revelation has caught fans by surprise, especially considering the couple's history of navigating previous challenges together. Their wedding, which took place in Dubai in 2013, was a star-studded affair, drawing massive media coverage and public interest. Despite some ups and downs, they have remained one of Nigeria's longest-enduring celebrity couples. The singer, a foundational figure in the Nigerian music scene and a source of inspiration for artists like Wizkid and Burna Boy, plans to hold a press conference to provide further details about their separation. Adding to the public intrigue, both 2Baba and Annie have unfollowed each other on social media, signaling a clear break. Annie, also an actress, had recently opened up on social media about the strain on their marriage due to personal struggles, including a miscarriage and tension around her husband's past relationships. The couple’s journey appears to be at a turning point, with fans eagerly awaiting more insights into the situation from 2Baba in the near future.
