Nigerian singer Brymo has stirred fresh conversation online after revealing that veteran musician 2Baba once put a pointed question directly to his then-wife Annie Macaulay about whether she had been intimate with him. The disclosure came as Brymo openly acknowledged a history of relationships with married women during an appearance on the Notjustok podcast.
Brymo Recalls 2019 Meeting with 2Baba and Annie
According to Brymo, the confrontation happened in 2019 at a meeting in Lekki, with both he and 2Baba present when the question was directed at Annie. "I remember that moment in 2019 at Naomi's office in Lekki Phase 1 when 2face looked me straight in the eyes and asked Annie directly. I'll never forget it. I'm wicked, you people don't know me," he said.
Brymo went on to caution younger artists against pursuing relationships with married women, describing such entanglements as capable of cutting careers, and lives, short.
History of Controversial Statements
This is far from the first time Brymo has found himself at the centre of controversy involving women in the industry. In 2023, he publicly admitted to conditioning a collaboration with singer Simi on her agreeing to be intimate with him, a proposition she declined. He extended the same condition to Ghanaian singer Efya. When the admissions surfaced, he described the conduct as an "artistic pursuit," a defence that drew sharp criticism from Simi's husband, Adekunle Gold, who publicly told him to stay away from his family.
2Baba and Annie's Separation
2Baba and Annie Macaulay, who had been together for years before their marriage and share several children, announced their separation in early 2023 after Annie filed for divorce. The marriage had weathered years of public scrutiny over 2Baba's relationships with other women. Neither 2Baba nor Annie has responded publicly to Brymo's latest claims at the time of this report.
