In a controversial Instagram post, the “African Queen” crooner disclosed that they had been separated for some time and had already filed for divorce.

“I and Annie Macaulay have been separated for a while now, and currently filed for divorce,” he wrote, adding that he would later tell his side of the story.

The announcement shocked fans who had watched the couple weather years of public scrutiny and reconciliations.

Months after the separation announcement, 2Baba moved on with Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru.

Their relationship quickly became public, and in July, reports emerged that the pair had a quiet traditional marriage ceremony.

However, what seemed like a fresh start soon turned messy.

In November, a video allegedly showing 2Baba being arrested in the United Kingdom over claims of assault against Natasha went viral.

The incident opened heated discussions around domestic abuse, with associates of the singer countering the allegations and claiming the lawmaker was the aggressor in the marriage.

Amid the chaos, fans noticed Annie Macaulay reverted to using “Idibia” on her Instagram handle, a decision many interpreted as a sign that the divorce may not have been finalised.
