Veteran singer Friday Igweh, fondly called Baba Fryo, has offered his thoughts on why 2Baba and Annie Idibia’s marriage failed.
He believes their careers in the entertainment industry played a key role in the split.
During a recent appearance on the Honest Bunch podcast, Baba Fryo spoke in Pidgin, suggesting the couple struggled because they operated in the same field, which often makes maintaining a stable relationship difficult.
He explained that in traditional settings, a woman is seen as the balancing presence in a household, especially when the man deals with certain habits.
But according to him, this dynamic becomes complicated when both spouses behave in similar ways.
Baba Fryo also shared that he has a long-standing connection to 2Baba’s current partner, Natasha.
He claimed to have known her since she was a child, recalling that he once carried her on his lap when she was three.
“2Face and his wife, two of them, I will say they didn’t manage themselves well. They are both entertainers. Annie is an actress, and 2Face is a musician.
“Let us put this together. In marriage, when the couple are out for fun, it is the woman’s duty to take care of the man.

“When a man is drinking, the woman will be watching him, and if he is drinking too much, the woman will calm him.”
He continued: “But if you marry a woman who also drinks, when you’re both drunk, who will take the other home?
“When a man sees that, he will become insecure in the marriage. And when he goes out and sees another woman with a different attitude.
“I’m not saying this scenario is a good one, because even 2Face’s current lover, Natasha, is someone I have known.”
The couple’s breakup became public on the 26th of January, 2025. 2Baba confirmed via Instagram that they had been separated for a while and were moving forward with divorce proceedings.
Annie Macaulay later acknowledged the split and confirmed that the legal process was ongoing.
