Celebrated Nigerian musician Innocent Ujah Idibia, widely recognized as 2Baba, is once again in the spotlight, this time due to his reaction to the criticism that followed his recent announcement regarding his split from Annie Idibia.
The iconic artist, who has been a staple in the music scene for years, stirred up a storm on social media when he revealed the news, leading to a flurry of responses from both supporters and detractors.
It is worth noting that on Sunday, January 26th, 2025, the music world was abuzz with shocking news as renowned singer 2Baba, famously known for his hit “African Queen,” revealed the unexpected end of his 13-year marriage to Annie Idibia.
The announcement sent ripples through social media, igniting conversations and speculation among fans and followers alike about the couple’s tumultuous journey.
The revelation came as a surprise to many, as 2Baba and Annie had long been seen as a power couple in the entertainment industry.
The recent news of the singer’s split has ignited a firestorm of discontent among a host of prominent female celebrities, such as Toke Makinwa, Tiwa Savage, Iyabo Ojo, and Zari Hassan. Their reactions have been nothing short of passionate, as they flocked to social media platforms, especially Instagram, to express their dismay and share their thoughts on the unfolding drama.
The backlash stems from the belief that 2Baba’s actions have exacerbated an already volatile situation, drawing unwanted attention to Annie during a time when she is navigating the complexities of their relationship on screen.
This has led to a chorus of voices questioning the appropriateness of his timing, suggesting that it may have been more considerate to wait until the reality show concluded before making such a significant declaration.
In a recent Facebook update that has ignited a flurry of conversations, 2Baba opened up about the swirling rumors regarding his separation from Annie Idibia.
He pointed to Annie’s intense involvement in reality television as a significant factor contributing to the unraveling of their marriage, implying that her dedication to the entertainment industry often eclipsed her responsibilities to their family.
2Baba has taken a bold stand against his detractors, who have labeled him as a villain for stepping forward to address pressing issues.
In a world where public figures often face backlash for their actions, the renowned artist is unafraid to confront the criticism head-on, emphasizing the importance of taking responsibility and making a difference.
A recent post from popular Facebook blog “Afrocania,” which boasts an impressive following of over 2.8 million, has sparked conversations around 2Baba’s stance. The post, shared on January 28th, 2025, highlights the artist’s commitment to doing what he believes is right, despite the negative labels that some may attach to him.
According to the legendary singer 2Baba, Annie Idibia is more interested in the reality shows than her own immediate family. While he further stressed that while he was nursing kidney failure he would be at the hospital alone.
2Baba tackle critics who refers to him as devil for coming out to do the needful.
The post from Afrocania reads; “HYPOCRITES”!
