Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay-Idibia, the former wife of legendary singer Innocent '2Baba' Idibia, has ignited a fresh wave of online chatter with a recent social media post. The move comes amid ongoing public scrutiny of 2Baba's troubled marriage to his current wife, Natasha Osawaru.
Soundtrack Choice Fuels Speculation
On Wednesday, December 4, 2025, Annie took to her Instagram page to announce her upcoming trip to Cape Town, South Africa. The mother of two revealed she was collaborating with celebrity stylist Swanky Jerry for an event featuring performances by artists Bella Shmurda and Shallipopi.
However, it was her choice of background music that captured widespread attention. Annie used 2Baba's own track, "Enter the Place," as the soundtrack for her travel announcement video. This deliberate selection, made while videos depicting discord between 2Baba and Natasha were circulating online, led fans to dissect its potential meaning.
Fans Decode the Hidden Message
The Instagram comment section quickly became a forum for interpretation. Many followers believed Annie was sending a subtle, pointed message to her ex-husband amidst his domestic turmoil.
Some users suggested the song title was an indirect plea for 2Baba to refocus on his family home. Comments like one from @ogechi_ogueri, which read, "Baba is and will still remain the father of ur kids, pls make everybody enter house at this point," reflected this sentiment. Others, like @drinksncoshop, humorously warned that the song choice "fit make tubaba chop beating today."
Conversely, a segment of her supporters saw it as a nod to their shared history and urged reconciliation for the sake of their children. User @chiamakanwokeukwu commented, "It’s the soundtrack for me? You just weaken am. I too love you," while another hailed her as "The original African Queen."
Backdrop of 2Baba's Marital Strain
Annie's post arrived at a time when 2Baba's marriage has been under intense public spotlight. Earlier, troubling live videos featuring the singer and Natasha had surfaced, leading to concern among fans. The situation escalated to the point where 2Baba's manager, Kaka Igbokwe, had to address the rumours, and 2Baba himself posted a cryptic "Help Me" message on Instagram, which he later deleted.
Adding to the controversy, 2Baba faced criticism for reportedly missing his daughter's graduation ceremony, while being present at a lavish 67th birthday celebration for his mother-in-law. This contrast further fueled discussions about his priorities.
Through it all, Annie Macaulay has maintained her public profile, with her latest strategic post demonstrating a keen awareness of the media narrative. Her trip to Cape Town, underscored by her ex-husband's music, ensures the personal saga of one of Nigeria's most famous families remains a topic of fervent discussion.
