In a moment that stunned attendees at the 17th Headies Awards, Annie Macaulay, the estranged wife of music superstar 2Baba, finally confirmed their divorce.
She shared the stage with Farooq Oreagba, the dapper ‘King of Steeze’ from Ojude Oba 2024, as they handed out the award for Best Afrobeat Singer of the Year.
While introducing herself, Annie corrected herself, making it obvious she was taking back her maiden name, Macaulay.
“Annie Idi… Oh sorry, Annie Macaulay. Hey, single ladies!” she said amid cheers from the audience.
Recall that when Annie resurfaced on social media in March, nearly two months after 2Baba publicly announced their breakup, she signed off with her full name, Annie Uwana Macaulay on Instagram noticeably excluding the “Idibia” name.
Her marriage to 2Baba, with whom she shares two children, ended in January 2025 when the singer publicly announced their separation.
Following this, 2Baba made a public proposal to his new fiancée, Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru and has introduced her to his family and kinsmen in Benue State, sparking wedding rumours.
