On Sunday, 2Face shocked fans when he announced his separation from Annie via Instagram. The news spread quickly, sparking a wave of reactions on social media.

Blackface weighs in
Reacting to the situation, Blackface took to Instagram on Wednesday to share his thoughts. In a heartfelt message, he reminded the couple of their social influence and urged them to set a positive example.
He acknowledged the difficulties that come with relationships but emphasized the need for maturity and respect during challenging times.
Open letter to 2Face and Annie
Blackface, a former member of the defunct music group Plantashun Boiz alongside 2Face, addressed his letter directly to the couple. He began with words of encouragement, offering them “good tidings” and extending his best wishes.
“I’m reaching out at this time to remind us to show decorum and be civil with whatever proceedings you may be going through,” he wrote.
He stressed that as public figures, their actions influence younger generations. According to him, celebrities should always strive to be role models, demonstrating strength and composure even in personal struggles.
“As role models, we should always set good examples for this generation to emulate and for older generations to be proud,” he added.
A plea for strength and unity
Blackface further reminded 2Face and Annie that no relationship is without challenges. While breakups are painful, he encouraged them to navigate their separation with dignity. He also offered a prayer, asking for divine strength to help them cope with this difficult phase.
“I pray that God gives both of you the strength to scale through this,” he wrote, extending his love and regards to their families and children.
Public reactions
Blackface’s message resonated with many fans. Some praised him for offering wisdom and support, while others speculated about his motivation for speaking up. Many social media users agreed that 2Face and Annie should handle their divorce privately to protect their children and maintain their dignity.
However, some critics questioned whether Blackface was the right person to give advice, citing past controversies between him and 2Face. Over the years, their relationship has been rocky, with Blackface accusing 2Face of intellectual property theft over the hit song African Queen.
The bigger picture
Despite their past differences, Blackface’s call for civility highlights a broader conversation about celebrity relationships. With social media amplifying personal issues, many believe public figures should set boundaries and resolve conflicts privately.
While 2Face and Annie have not responded to Blackface’s message, the unfolding drama continues to attract attention. Fans hope the couple can find an amicable resolution, whether through reconciliation or a respectful separation.
As the situation develops, the music industry and the public will be watching closely, hoping that 2Face and Annie can part ways peacefully, if reconciliation is no longer possible.
