Veteran Nigerian musician Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, is facing backlash after failing to mention his wife Annie Idibia in a tribute marking his 25 years in the music industry. The omission has drawn strong reactions from fans and critics alike, given the couple’s long, high-profile relationship and Annie’s visible support throughout his career.
2Baba’s anniversary tribute celebrated colleagues, producers, and fans who shaped his journey, but the absence of his wife’s name immediately sparked controversy on social media, where users debated whether the omission was intentional or an oversight.
Annie Idibia’s continued silence on the matter has further fueled speculation about the couple’s marital state, which has occasionally been the subject of media attention. The controversy comes as 2Baba’s career remains one of the most enduring in African music, characterized by both critical success and personal scrutiny.
The situation illustrates how celebrity relationships in Nigeria often evolve under public pressure, with fans and followers expecting symbolic gestures of unity from entertainment couples. Whether or not this latest issue affects the couple’s dynamic remains to be seen, but it has undoubtedly reignited discussions about the price of fame on personal relationships.
