In a shocking turn of events, Nigerian music icon 2Baba (Innocent Idibia) and his wife, actress Annie Idibia, have announced their separation after nearly 13 years of marriage. The couple, once considered a symbol of enduring love in the entertainment industry, is now at the center of a highly publicized marital saga.

On January 26, 2025, 2Baba took to Instagram to share the unexpected news of their separation. In his post, he stated, “Annie and I are separated; I’ve filed for divorce.” This revelation sent shockwaves through their fan base and the broader public, leading to widespread speculation about the reasons behind the split.

The couple’s relationship has faced numerous challenges over the years. Notably, 2Baba’s past relationship with Pero Adeniyi, the mother of three of his children, has been a recurring source of tension. Despite these issues, 2Baba and Annie renewed their vows in 2022, marking their 10th anniversary and reaffirming their commitment to each other.

The announcement has ignited intense debates among fans and social media commentators. Some draw parallels between 2Baba and Annie’s situation and the tumultuous marriage of American icons Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston. However, others argue that each relationship is unique and should be viewed within its own context.

As the couple endures this challenging period, the public remains keenly interested in their next steps. Both 2Baba and Annie have requested privacy during this time, focusing on their family’s well-being. The entertainment industry watches closely, offering support and hoping for an amicable resolution to this deeply personal matter.
