In a fiery Instagram post, popular content creator and influencer, Maraji, has voiced her strong disapproval of singer 2Baba’s decision to publicly announce his divorce from actress Annie Idibia. The move has stirred a whirlwind of debate and backlash on social media, with many questioning the need for such a private matter to be aired publicly.
On Monday, Maraji took to her Instagram story to express her deep disappointment over what she termed as 2Baba’s “nonchalant and inconsiderate” handling of his separation. The musician, whose real name is Innocent Idibia, had posted a video where he revealed that his marriage with Annie was coming to an end. This public statement has been widely criticized, especially by those who believe it added unnecessary pressure to an already sensitive situation.
“His marriage was never the foundation of his social media presence, so making a video to announce its end was totally unnecessary,” Maraji wrote in her post. She went on to highlight the lack of empathy in the decision, criticizing 2Baba for exposing Annie to further online trolling. The actress has been the subject of intense scrutiny following the divorce announcement, with fans and social media users commenting on her personal life and relationship.
Maraji further lamented that, given the circumstances, 2Baba could have handled the matter more privately, allowing Annie the space she needed to heal. “Knowing how she is currently being dragged, he could have just kept it off social media and let the woman heal in peace,” Maraji pointed out. She added that the timing of the announcement, as well as the public nature of it, was deeply troubling to her.
Despite her criticisms of 2Baba, Maraji was quick to offer support and solidarity to Annie, commending her strength in the face of the ongoing drama. “I’m glad Annie can now find herself and heal quickly,” Maraji wrote, expressing relief that Annie is now free from the turmoil of a troubled marriage and can focus on her personal growth.
Annie Idibia, who has been open about her struggles with mental health and the challenges she has faced in her marriage to 2Baba, has been a frequent subject of online conversations and media attention. Following the revelation of their separation, many social media users have continued to comment on the situation, with some expressing sympathy for her and others placing blame on the actress.
Maraji’s statement comes at a time when both public figures and fans alike are grappling with the emotional complexities of celebrity divorces, and the added layer of social media involvement only seems to heighten the pressure. Fans have taken to social platforms, sharing their opinions about the way the divorce was handled and the impact it could have on both parties moving forward.
For many, the announcement marks a turning point in the relationship between 2Baba and Annie, both of whom have been prominent figures in the Nigerian entertainment industry for years. The couple, who married in 2012, have had their fair share of publicized issues, with rumors of infidelity and relationship troubles circulating the media. However, this most recent revelation has stirred even greater controversy, particularly with the added public spectacle.
In a statement shared on Instagram, Maraji questioned the necessity of 2Baba’s decision to announce the divorce in such a manner. She argued that public figures like 2Baba should be more mindful of their influence, especially in matters concerning their personal lives. “The public doesn’t need to know every detail of your private life, especially when it affects other people. It’s important to show more empathy,” she wrote.
