At this year’s Headies Awards, all eyes were on Nollywood actress and entrepreneur Annie Macaulay-Idibia, the former wife of Nigerian music icon 2Baba. Radiant in a stunning ensemble, Annie graced the red carpet with grace, poise, and a quiet strength that could only come from deep personal evolution.
Speaking with reporters during an emotional yet composed red carpet interview, Annie opened up for the first time since news broke that her marriage to Innocent Idibia popularly known as 2Baba had officially ended.
Asked about her support system in this new chapter of life, Annie was clear and heartfelt in her response: her daughters, Isabella and Olivia, are her everything.
“You mean my children?” she responded in her signature blend of candor and charisma. “My children dey kampe. The first one dey Yankee, she dey go school. No play with that girl o. I don’t play with my kids. Na them be my backbone.”
Annie’s words part pride, part revelation resonated with many who’ve followed her journey through fame, love, and heartbreak. In a world where celebrity lives are dissected by the hour, her declaration stood out: authentic, vulnerable, and powerful.
This moment comes just weeks after reports confirmed that Annie and 2Baba have finalized their divorce, closing the chapter on one of Nigeria’s most talked-about unions. Through it all, Annie appears resolute rooted in motherhood and fortified by the two young women she’s raising.
In this era of reinvention, Annie Macaulay-Idibia is not just surviving—she’s standing tall.
