Lagos, Nigeria – Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, better known as 2Baba, has confirmed his separation from wife Annie Idibia, putting an end to their 13-year marriage.
The news emerged Sunday evening when a cryptic post appeared on 2Baba’s official Instagram account announcing the couple’s separation and impending divorce proceedings. The post, which briefly alluded to a forthcoming press release detailing his side of the story, sent shockwaves through the Nigerian entertainment industry and beyond.
However, a subsequent post on the same account claimed the initial message was a result of a security breach, asserting that the account had been hacked. This initial denial quickly unraveled as 2Baba himself later appeared in a video message, acknowledging the authenticity of the original separation announcement.
