2baba and Annie: Here’s a timeline of their marital woes over the years | Pulse Nigeria

As 2baba and Annie Macaulay-Idibia’s marriage finally collapses after 13 years, let’s take a trip down memory lane.

While the ‘African Queen‘ veteran singer-songwriter and performer may have had some cute, Instagrammable moments with the actress and entrepreneur cum reality TV star, their marriage was on the rocks at certain critical periods owing to multiple issues including infidelity, lack of trust, and family dispute.

Here’s a full recap of all the times their marriage was under severe threats before the final blow.

1. 2baba reportedly seen kissing baby mama Pero (January 26, 2015)

Barely two years and a few months into their marriage, 2baba, also known as 2face, was caught on camera kissing his baby mama, Pero Adeniyi.

Reports at the time had it that the the popular Nigerian superstar musician was cozied up in the VIP section of his Festac night club, Rumours with the mother of his three kids, Pero Adeniyi.

Annie was said to have caught wind of what was happening in the club and decided to confront 2face on the issue.

She allegedly stormed the club but was diverted by the club’s management into a room where she was told her husband would join her shortly.

The mother of two was allegedly then locked in the room for the period and when she was eventually given access to leave, 2face and Pero had ended their ‘meeting’. “But when Annie went into the room, she was locked in for some time and by the time she was let out, the fun was over and Pero had left whilst Tuface was about to leave,” Dimokokorkus wrote.

Shortly after the incident, 2face reacted via his Instagram page. His post read, “Our love does not have 2 make sense 2 u. Pls go on with your perfect life and know the true story behind something before u judge and start making nasty comments based on an orchestrated story by some blog. U shall know the truth and the truth shall set u free.”

He then professed his love for his wife Annie at the end of the message saying “I love you till i die“.

Annie also reacted to the incident by speaking to That1960Chick saying that the ‘incident’ was a temporary distraction and she didn’t go to the club to confront her husband as opposed to the stories carried by blogs.

Her statement read, “I am aware of the photos circulating the internet with my husband and Pero Adeniyi. I want to state officially that I was not in that space at that time and therefore there was no confrontation between myself and Pero Adeniyi.

Pero Adeniyi and this momentary indiscretion poses no threat whatsoever to my relationship with my husband. As a matter of fact for all of our children’s’ sake, I do encourage cordial relationships with parties involved.

This year, my focus is solely on God, Family and my Career which doesn’t give me the luxury of paying attention to any distractions.”

3. Annie threatens to scatter everything in audio (September 8, 2021)

In an audiotape that went viral on social media, a visibly angry Annie vowed to scatter ‘everything’ after she found out her husband had travelled out of the country to see Pero.

4. Annie apologises publicly (November 13, 2021)
