Nollywood actress and reality TV star Annie Idibia has set the internet abuzz with a series of thought-provoking messages shared on her Instagram Story. This comes just hours after a viral video surfaced online, allegedly showing her ex-husband, legendary Nigerian singer Innocent "2Baba" Idibia, being arrested by police officers in the United Kingdom.
Cryptic Messages Amidst Controversy
Although Annie Idibia did not mention any names, the timing of her posts was impossible to ignore. The social media sphere was already alight with discussions about the circulating footage involving 2Baba. On her Instagram Story, Annie shared several reflective lines that many interpreted as subtle commentary on the situation.
She wrote, "Sometimes trying to prove you are the best is an insult." In another post, she added, "Wouldn't it be easier if you left your past behind." A third message simply stated, "The power of stepping away." These posts quickly captured the attention of fans and bloggers, fueling further speculation and debate.
The Viral Video and Alleged Altercation
The controversy stems from a video clip shared by popular blogger Tosin Silverdam on TikTok. The footage appears to show 2Baba engaged in a conversation with police officers outside what looks like a retail store in London. The singer is later seen being escorted away with his hands reportedly cuffed behind his back.
This clip emerged shortly after another recording went viral. In that earlier video, a woman believed to be 2Baba's current wife, Natasha Osawaru, is heard raising her voice at him inside a London shop. She accuses him of shouting at her on multiple occasions. The exact details and circumstances surrounding these events remain unclear, and as of now, UK police authorities have not released an official statement confirming any arrest.
This is not the first time such reports have surfaced. Back in October 2025, news broke that 2Baba had been arrested in London following an alleged altercation with Natasha. The music icon denied those charges at the time, attributing his absence from a scheduled UK tour date to a sudden health emergency rather than a domestic dispute.
Netizens React to Annie's Posts
The online community was divided in its interpretation of Annie Idibia's messages. While some saw them as pointed remarks aimed at her ex-husband's current predicament, others urged people to leave her out of the drama.
Here are some of the reactions compiled from social media:
- @uchemaduagwu said: "God Don catch 2baba."
- @fusiasaa8 commented: "She still loves him, woulda been better if she had never responded."
- @_iamsheila__ defended Annie: "Can you people just leave Annie alone? She repost things like this often just like we all do on our stories.. don’t bring unnecessary dr@gs to her biko.."
- @legboh offered a philosophical take: "When God said 'Vengeance is mine', HE meant it. Don't say anything. Just be quiet and watch GOD do all the work."
- @poshest_hope remarked: "I love how life always shows people the grass isn’t greener on the other side. From African Queen to African warrior."
Prior to this incident, 2Baba and Natasha Osawaru were recently spotted together at a party hosted by actress Yvonne Jegede in Lagos, celebrating her 20-year milestone in Nollywood. Their public appearance had also generated comments and observations from netizens.
As the story continues to develop, all eyes remain on any official confirmation from the authorities and further social media activity from the key figures involved.
