The Announcement
The announcement came via an Instagram post, where 2Baba disclosed that the couple had been separated for some time and had officially filed for divorce.
In his post, 2Baba stated:
“Annie and I have been separated for a while now and have officially filed for divorce. I will grant a press release soon to tell my story… not because it is anyone’s right to know about my personal life, but because I love my people and need them to know my innocence or offence.”
Speculations of a Hack and Clarification
Following the announcement, there was initial speculation about the post’s authenticity, with many suggesting that 2Baba’s account had been hacked.
The musician even shared an Instagram story claiming that his account was compromised. However, he later clarified in a video that there was no hacking involved, stating:
“Nobody hacked my account. I said what I said.”
Annie’s Silence
As of now, Annie, who is currently part of the cast of Young, Famous & African Season 3, has yet to react to the post.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2012, shares two daughters. Despite their high-profile relationship, they have faced numerous challenges, including infidelity rumors and conflicts with 2Baba’s previous partners.
Key Moments That Tested Their 12-Year Union
Over the years, 2Baba and Annie’s marriage faced several trials, many of which played out in the public eye:
Infidelity Allegations
One of the biggest issues in their marriage was Annie’s accusations of infidelity against 2Baba.
In 2021, Annie publicly accused 2Baba of maintaining inappropriate ties with his first baby mama, Pero Adeniyi, claiming he spent nights at her home under the guise of visiting their children.
This incident led to heated social media drama, fueling speculation about the stability of their marriage.
In a recent episode of Young, Famous & African Season 3, Annie became emotional as she discussed the pain and embarrassment her husband’s infidelity had caused her.
