Annie Macaulay has reacted after facing criticism for congratulating fashion designer Abiodun Folashade Tokunbo, popularly known as CEO Luminee, on the birth of her son with actor Baba Ijesha. Baba Ijesha, whose real name is Olanrewaju James Omiyinka, was recently released from prison after serving time for a sexual offense against a minor.
Outrage Over the Union
Many people expressed outrage upon learning that CEO Luminee married Baba Ijesha and welcomed a child with him shortly after his release from jail. Critics also slammed Luminee for associating with a convicted sex offender while being a mother to a young daughter from a previous relationship.
Annie Macaulay's Congratulatory Message
Amid the controversy, actress Annie Macaulay, the former wife of singer Innocent 'Tuface' Idibia, congratulated the fashion designer. This led to a wave of backlash against Annie, with many reminding her that she has two daughters of her own.
Annie's Response
Annie has now responded to the criticism. She explained that she was unaware of the full context and only knew that Luminee had designed an outfit for her a few months ago. Therefore, her congratulatory message was simply a gesture of goodwill based on that professional relationship.
