Nigerian singer 2Face Idibia took to social media to announce the end of his marriage to Annie. In his message, the 'African Queen' hitmaker said he was in the process of divorcing his wife.
"Hello 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."
He continued
"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."
2Baba sparked concern after announcing his separation from Annie publicly on Sunday January 26.
Fellow celebrities and fans reacted to the news, with most of them asking 2baba not to bring their marital issues in public.

But since you've decided to humiliate her at her lowest, no wahala. Its your choice, Just make sure she's healthy nad okay. becuase when the time comes, we'll have plenty of questions for you.
Nasiru: One celebrity divorce then you begin to say this thing called marriage is not for me. But you forget your parents that have been married for over 30 soemthing years. Stop using celebrity marriages to defiine marriage.
Toke Makinwa: This is wrong on all levels and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here, Bring it on, If you think she's alone, let me tell you here that you'll have to fight all of us.
Diaryofanaijagirl: Frst they groom you, then you lose yourself and then dump you. I am so anry. I never involve myself with things like this but this is a disgusting behavior by this man. In the time when this woman is being bashed, you had to say this? Knowing you constantly humiliated her punblicly since I was 18 years old? Why now? Why heap more fire on her reputation? Never ever choose a man over yourself. No one is indispensable. Gosh
Divorce attorneys at sachdevfamilylaw.com say there are 3 things that are unique to celebrity divorces that have a major impact on how it unfolds and gets resolved.
1. Public Scrutiny
For normal people, divorce is largely a private matter. But when celebrities split, it becomes a media circus. Every detail gets dissected and debated by millions of strangers.
2. Division of assets and property
The division of assets and property is a central consideration of any divorce, with couples often arguing over who will keep houses, pets, cars, businesses, and bank accounts. Celebrity divorces frequently involve much more sizable assets. The brand the couple created as a family is at the heart of the complexity.
Celebrity brands influence work projects, endorsement opportunities, and product affiliations they receive. The couple might have a large following on a social media account with hefty earning potential. Endorsement deals are also hard to navigate, especially if one party is unwilling to terminate the contract.
3. Financial considerations
Normal people need to finalize their divorces to move on with their lives, but many celebrities can afford to drag the proceedings out indefinitely (some even seem to enjoy the ongoing drama and publicity). While most people worry about minimizing their financial liabilities, this isn’t always a priority for celebrity couples.
When there are hundreds of millions at stake, it can be worth spending large amounts of time and money to gain an edge, which is why some celebrity divorces stretch out for years. The money involved also complicates things like alimony since the usual formulas aren’t very effective when deciding who’s entitled to what.
