The news of 2Baba and Annie Idibia’s divorce has sparked a heated debate among Nigerian celebrities, with some slamming 2Baba for his insensitivity and others backing him for his decision.
2Baba and Annie made headline, Sunday, after the former confirmed that he has finally broken up with his wife of 12 years, Annie. Their union has been on trial since 2021, after the families of the couple engaged in a dirty ‘fight’ on social media, with the latter accusing her husband of disrespecting their marital vows by engaging in an illicit affair with his first baby mama, Pero Adeniyi.
However, 2Baba’s confirming their break-up sparked reactions on social media, yesterday, with many celebrities, including media personality, Toke Makinwa; reality TV star, Abiri Oluwabusayo aka as Koko by Khloe, and actress Mary Njoku, among others, slamming the legendary singer for his insensitivity, while others backed 2Baba for his action.
Makinwa expressed her disappointment with 2Baba for bringing their divorce saga into the public domain, saying he should be ashamed of himself.
In an instagram post, Makinwa wrote: “This is wrong at all levels, and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here. Bring it on. If you think she’s alone, let me tell you now that you’ll have to fight all of us.”
On her own part, actress Mary Njoku blamed 2Baba for announcing the separation at a time when Annie was already facing public criticism over her appearance in a reality TV show. She accused him of embarrassing his wife when she was at her lowest.
“Annie has a family. Your sisters-in-law are many, and we’ve stayed quiet out of respect for her tough choices.
But since you’ve decided to humiliate her at her lowest, no wahala. It’s your choice. Just make sure she’s healthy and okay. Because when the time comes, we’ll have plenty of questions for you,” Njoku wrote on IG.
For reality TV show star, Khloe, the timing was wrong. She warned the singer that he would face not only Annie, but also all her supporters and friends as well.
“This period? Like this time? This season? Hell no. “Make me just not talk about anything right now because this is a prank. Fight Annie, fight all of us. Love is really wicked,” Khloe also wrote on IG.
Also, reacting, a businesswoman, Ifedayo Agoro said 2Baba had treated Annie badly for years and should not have made things worse by announcing the divorce publicly.
“First, they groom you, then you lose yourself, and then they dump you. I am so angry! I usually don’t talk about things like this, but this is disgusting behavior by this man.
“In a time when this woman is already being insulted, you had to say this? Knowing you’ve been embarrassing her publicly for years? Why now? Why make things worse for her?
“Never ever choose a man over yourself. No one is indispensable,”Agoro fumed.
Meanwhile, controversial actress , Nwachukwu Ifeoma Esther, who goes by the Instagram name, esthersky_77, blasted Toke Makinwa for calling 2Baba out over his action.
She said that she’s proud of the singer, adding “If 2baba said he’s done with Annie it means he is done. Annie is so t0x!c.”
Esther described Toke Makinwa’s comments as “gilbrish” adding “Charms have lost their efficacy. . No matter how long it takes. Charms go clear. So finally,” the actress wrote.
Also, a popular blogger Oluwatosin Damolekun, a.k.a Tosin Silverdam blasted Toke Makinwa, for dragging 2Baba, saying “all his female fans would fight with him for announcing his divorce publicly.” Tosin, however, questioned some people who alleged that 2Baba groomed Annie.
According to him, she saw that the singer had multiple baby mamas and still decided to marry him. He opined that the couple should be allowed to go their separate ways since their union wasn’t working again.
A check yesterday by Vanguard revealed that the singer had deleted all the divorce-related posts, including the video he made to announce the divorce. He had, in a controversial post on his Instagram page Sunday, announced his divorce from Annie, his wife of 12 years.
This is even as it was rumoured yesterday that Annie, who’s currently featuring in the reality TV show, Young, Famous & African Season 3 on Netflix was rushed to a rehab amid their divorce saga.
