Annie Macaulay, the estranged wife of Afrobeats legend Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, has stirred fresh speculation after posting a series of cryptic messages on Instagram on Monday. Her posts surfaced just hours after a video went viral showing the music star involved in a heated confrontation in London, which ended with police leading him away.
The actress, who has maintained a mostly quiet stance since her separation from 2Baba became public, appeared to indirectly address the unfolding drama. In one Instagram Story, she wrote: “Sometimes, trying to prove that you are the best is an insult.”
Another post featured a symbolic illustration of burning matchsticks, with one stick pulled aside to prevent the rest from catching fire. The caption read: “The power of stepping away.”
The timing of the posts has fueled conversations online, with many interpreting them as her reaction to the controversy surrounding her former partner.
The video of 2Baba’s confrontation surfaced shortly after he appeared briefly on Daddy Freeze’s Instagram Live session. The livestream featured two of his former management associates, Kaka Igbokwe and Lori Tosan, who accused the singer’s current wife, Natasha Osawaru, of wielding excessive control over his personal and professional life.
Midway through the broadcast, 2Baba joined the session, visibly upset, demanding the duo stop discussing his private affairs. The situation quickly escalated when viewers noticed a commotion in the background, with Natasha appearing to hold him back as tensions rose off-camera.
This latest incident has renewed public scrutiny of 2Baba’s personal life, which has remained in the spotlight since he confirmed earlier this year that he and Annie had officially separated. The Afrobeats star proposed to Natasha Osawaru in February and married her in July—developments that sparked widespread reactions across social media.
Annie’s new Instagram posts, combined with the viral footage, have reignited conversations about the ongoing turbulence surrounding the singer and the women connected to him, keeping the spotlight firmly fixed on the unfolding drama.
