Tubaba and Annie Macaulay are getting a divorce! This was the shocker we got on Sunday evening when the singer took to social media to make the announcement.
“Hello to my beautiful people of all federations,” Innocent Idibia started on the post.
“Well, this thing I have to say is short but also long. Annie Macaulay and I have been separated for a while and have filed for divorce.
“I would grant a press release soon to say my story. Not because it is anyone’s right to know but about my personal life. But because I love my people and I need them to know my innocence or offense. Stay blessed my people. I love you all,” the rest of the post read.
As expected everyone was stunned with this announcement. To make things more interesting, another post came up minutes later with 2baba claiming that his IG account was hacked and he is trying to get control of it.
This had some fans curious on if this was just a PR stunt or there was an issue with his account and he was not really separating from Annie Macaulay to whom he has been married to for 12 years.
Before anyone could make sense of what was actually going on, another post appeared on 2Baba’s IG where he claimed he was not hacked and he was indeed separating from Annie Macaulay.
“Hey, my people, nobody hacked my account; I said what I said. I come in peace,” he was heard saying in a now-deleted video.
While this sparked lots of think pieces on social media, some women are fiercely drumming their support for Annie Macaulay.
Chief among them all is media personality, Toke Makinwa.
You’ll have to fight all of us – Toke Makinwa
Taking to social media, Toke did not waste time to air her thoughts on the announcement from the African Queen singer.
According to the media personality, 2Baba should be ashamed of himself for bringing this issue to social media. She also noted that Annie is not alone in this fight.
“This is wrong on 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 here that you’ll have to fight all of us,” she wrote in the comments section.
Toke who was not done also shared a post noting that what just happened to Annie Macaulay was unfair, and the statement released by 2Baba about their marriage was ill-timed.
She further noted that Annie has been badly treated by her husband, and she can’t choose to sit on the fence in such a situation.
“I am not one for too much talk but what is wrong is wrong,” Toke added on her stories.
She also noted that anyone who decides to sit on the fence in this type of situation should expect at some point to also be a victim.
We’ll have plenty questions for you – Mary Njoku
Nollywood actress, Mary Remmy Njoku has also followed suit to air her support for Annie Macaulay amid her separation from 2Baba.
Taking to Instagram, Njoku reminded 2Baba that Annie has a family fully behind her and they have only stayed quiet because of her tough choices.
The actress also noted that when the time os right, they will be ready with questions for the singer.
“Bro, Annie has a family o! Your sisters-in-law are many, and we’ve stayed quiet out of respect for her tough choices,” she wrote.

Disgusting behaviour from 2Baba – Media personality Ife
On her part, media personality, Ife aka Diary of a Naija girl was of the opinion that this was a disgusting move from Tuface while questioning why he had to heap more fire on her reputation.
She wrote, “First they groom you, then you lose yourself and then they dump you. I am soo angry! I never involve myself with things like this but this is a disgusting behaviour by yjis man.
In the time when this womab is being bashed, you had to say this? Knowing you constantly humiliated her publicly since I was 18 years old? Why now? Why heap more fire on her reputation?
Never ever choose a man over yourself. No one is INDISPENSABLE! Gosh!
Amid all these, Annie is yet to officially make any statement about the separation.
The celebrity couple got married way back in 2012 after 2Baba proposed to Annie on Valentine’s Day. The duo had a private wedding afterwards with their white wedding in Dubai in March 2013.
They renewed their vows in 2022 to mark their ten years anniversary.
