Annie Macaulay confirms divorce from 2Baba
Annie and 2Baba, who have two children, officially ended their marriage in January 2025 after the singer publicly disclosed their split.
Actress Annie Macaulay publicly confirmed her divorce from musician Innocent “2Baba” Idibia during the 17th Headies Awards ceremony held on Sunday night.
The movie star, who had been silent on the matter for months, finally reacted while co-presenting the award for Best Afrobeat Singer of the Year alongside Farooq Oreagba, popularly celebrated as the “King of Steeze” from the 2024 Ojude Oba festival.
While introducing herself on stage, Annie stumbled over her married name before quickly correcting it, signaling her return to her maiden name.
“Annie Idi… Oh! Sorry, Annie Macaulay. Hey, single ladies!” she said, prompting cheers and applause from the audience.
The confirmation follows signs earlier this year when Annie reappeared on social media in March — nearly two months after 2Baba announced their separation — and signed off with her full name, Annie Uwana Macaulay, notably dropping Idibia.
Annie and 2Baba, who have two children, officially ended their marriage in January 2025 after the singer publicly disclosed their split.
Since then, 2Baba has proposed to Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru and introduced her to his family and kinsmen in Benue State, fueling speculation about an impending wedding.

Ugandan Man With 120 Wives,102 Children ,568 Grandchildren, Says He’s Done With Child Bearing
He now fears sneezing near his wives — because that’s how baby number 103 might start.
After turning his house into a full-blown secondary school with 102 children, an Ugandan man has finally retired from “ministry of multiplication.”
Why? Because garri don cost and even the calculator is tired of counting school fees.
The man confessed: I love children, but the electricity bill alone is quite exhausting, I don’t know whether my children are eating or drinking the electricity as it finishes daily
He reportedly held a “final family meeting” where he begged his wives to “rest small” and even considered printing “We’re Full” on their gate.

France’s Canal+ set to take over DStv, GOtv owner MultiChoice
“This is a major step forward in our ambition to create a global media and entertainment company with Africa at its heart,” Canal+ CEO Maxime Saada said in a statement.
South Africa’s competition authority announced Wednesday it had approved the buyout of Africa’s largest pay TV enterprise MultiChoice by France’s Canal+, which wants to expand its footprint on the continent.
The merger, which has been in the works for nearly a year, needs the final go-ahead from the commission’s Competition Tribunal, it said in a statement.
Canal+ holds around 45 percent of MultiChoice’s shares and offered last year to acquire the remainder for 125 rand (6.16 euro) per share.
Canal+ is present in 25 African countries through 16 subsidiaries and has eight million subscribers, according to the French group.
MultiChoice operates in 50 countries across sub-Saharan Africa and has 19.3 million subscribers, it says.
It includes Africa’s premier sports broadcaster, SuperSport, and the DStv satellite television service.
“This is a major step forward in our ambition to create a global media and entertainment company with Africa at its heart,” Canal+ CEO Maxime Saada said in a statement.
