Nigerians divided as Toke Makinwa, Mary Njoku, others tackle 2baba over divorce announcement
Nigerian music icon Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia’s announcement of his separation from his wife, Annie, has sparked a heated debate among Nigerians, with celebrities such as Toke Makinwa, Mary Njoku, and others joining the conversation.
PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported that the singer, on his verified Instagram account on Sunday, announced that he and Annie are divorcing.
The 49-year-old singer revealed that he and the mother of two had separated for some time.
While some fans supported 2Baba’s stance, others, including Toke and Mary, criticised the ‘African Queen’ crooner’s perspective, expressing displeasure at how he revealed the situation on his Instagram page.
In response, in a post on her Instagram story on Sunday, Toke described the 49-year-old singer’s actions as wrong on every level, stressing that he should be ashamed of airing the separation on social media.
She further stated that Annie was not alone, adding that 2Baba would face all of them (Annie’s supporters) and lovers.
“I’m not one for too much talk, but what is wrong is wrong, and as a woman, if you sit on the fence on this one, if it misses you, it’ll touch your daughter or any female in your family.
“No one is innocent, and if you want to bring the media into it, knowing what is happening, we would fight for her,” Toke said.
