Ace Nigerian singer, Innocent Idibia, better known as 2Baba, has addressed his separation from his wife of over a decade, Annie Macaulay.
Naijaonpoint recalls that the ‘African Queen’ crooner, who tied the knot with Annie in May 2012, announced their divorce in January 2025 and his new relationship with Edo State Lawmaker, Natasha Osawaru.
In an interview on the 234 Mzansi Podcast, hosted by media personality, Nedu, 2Baba said they had given their best efforts to save the marriage but ultimately decided to part ways because it was not working.
The 49-year-old singer, who failed to give specific details on the crashed marriage, described Annie as an amazing woman, and stressed that no one should feel pressured to stay in an unhappy union.
Speaking further, 2Baba also argued that it is biologically impossible for men to be sexually committed to one woman.
He said, “I think both of us gave it our best. And why we’re not together today is not something I’m going to talk about publicly.
“Me and her have our own understanding. She’s amazing, it just wasn’t working no more. Something wey una get before wey no dey again, that’s why I said I won’t talk about it here.
“I think you should try to fix your marriage but if it’s beyond that, I don’t think anybody should force anything. Only people in the marriage know exactly what they’re feeling.
“It’s always good not to torture yourself, and not to allow society or people to dictate your feelings. Because this thing called ‘living in bondage’ is real and many people have gone to their grave very sad people.
“So for me, if it’s obvious that people cannot work things out then I don’t think anybody should force themselves to be together.
“I’ll speak for myself, but a man is not built to sexually be with one woman. His heart, love, and respect can be with one woman,
“But sexually, it is impossible for a man. An individual can decide not to go that route but I’m talking about the biology of men.
“It has gotten so many people into trouble and it’s a simple fact that you need to accept. Because so many heartache and unnecessary stress will be avoided if we understand this simple fact.”
