Actress Annie Idibia has declared that she is “not a single mum” but “a single woman raising two kids.”
“I’M NOT A SINGLE MOM. I’M A SINGLE WOMAN RAISING TWO KIDS,” she wrote.
Although Annie did not provide additional context, her statement comes more than a year after her separation from music star 2baba with whom she shares two daughters. The couple officially ended their marriage in 2024 after over a decade together.
Their relationship had long been in the public eye. Over the years, both faced intense scrutiny, with social media amplifying private disagreements and personal struggles. The marriage was in the public eyes not only because of their celebrity status but also because of past controversies surrounding 2Baba’s relationships.
Before their separation, Annie and 2Baba appeared on the Netflix reality series Young, Famous & African. On the show, Annie spoke candidly about the pressures within their 12-year marriage. She addressed issues of infidelity and the emotional strain she experienced over the years.
During the series, she reflected on the impact of 2Baba fathering five children with two other women before their marriage. Annie described that period as deeply painful, noting that it took an emotional toll on her even after they formalised their union. Her comments at the time generated widespread debate, with many viewers sympathising with her position.
Beyond the reality show, 2Baba’s personal life has remained a frequent topic in the media. The singer has eight children with four different women, a fact that has shaped public perception of him for years. In a recent interview with Voice of Nigeria, he described being labelled a “womaniser” as the biggest misconception about him, insisting that he is simply someone who “loves hard.”
Despite the challenges that have followed her personal life, Annie continues to build her career in film and brand partnerships.
2Baba, meanwhile, continues to perform and record music, sustaining a career that spans more than two decades. While his professional achievements remain widely respected, his private life has frequently attracted as much attention as his music.
