- Toolz has aired her opinion on the trending issue of 2Baba’s post announcing his separation and imminent divorce from his wife of thirteen years, Annie Idibia.
- The media personality gave insight that while divorce is not a new phenomenon, it would have been better if the singer did not make it public.
Nigerian media personality, Tolu Oniru, popularly known as Toolz, has berated singer, 2Face, for publicly announcing his separation from his wife, Annie.
Speaking in a recent episode of her podcast, ‘Off Air,’ Toolz opined that the couple should have handled the divorce privately.
She stated that the timing was also wrong considering that Annie was already facing backlash over her appearance on the Young, Famous & African reality show. In Toolz’ words:
“There is a lot that goes on in marriages. They [2face and Annie] have had very public ups and downs. But I just feel that this is something they could have handled privately, especially with what was going on with Annie at that point.
“It didn’t need to come out now. People get divorced privately all the time. Everybody knows that Annie loves 2Face very much. It quite sad for a lot of people because when you think about there love journey, everybody wanted a happy-ever-after for her but life happened.
“I feel like somebody you got married to, at some point, I imagined you loved, mother of your children, everything, when she’s going through something really public and people are attacking her, it’s not nice to just come and announced that you’re divorcing her that same period.”
Recall the African Queen hitmaker announced the end of his 13-year marriage to Annie on Instagram. The post read:
“Hello to my beautiful people of all federations. Well, this thing I have to say is short but also long…I and Annie Macaulay have been separated for a while now, and currently filed for divorce.
“I would grant a press release soon to say my story. Not because it is anyone’s right to know about my personal life but because I love my people and I need them to know my innocence or offense. Stay blessed my people. I love you all.”
Shortly after, it was deleted and another post appeared on the same account, claiming that the page had been compromised. It read:
“My Instagram account has been hacked, efforts are being carried out to take back control. #onelove!”
However, in a surprising twist, 2Baba released a video of himself clarifying the situation.
In the veteran singer’s latest reveal, shared on his Instagram story on Sunday night January 26, he confirmed that a controversial post on his social media page regarding his separation from his wife, Annie Idibia, was indeed made by him.
He disclosed that his account had not been hacked, contrary to the previous statement, and implied that the initial post about his separation was authentic.
