TV host Morayo Afolabi-Brown weighs in on the controversy over 2Baba’s split from Annie Idibia and his new relationship with Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru.
Speaking on a recent episode of Your View, Brown did not hide her disappointment. She strongly criticized 2Baba’s handling of the situation and questioned his treatment of Annie.
“2Baba must take responsibility” – Brown
Brown accused the musician of leading Annie on for years, only to suddenly move on with another woman. She argued that 2Baba owed Annie—and even the public—an explanation for his actions.
“I don’t think 2Baba should walk away without being held accountable for what he has done,” Brown said. “He has caused serious emotional damage to this young woman. I believe he misled her. Maybe he stayed in the marriage because of societal pressure. But if that’s the case, he should tell us the truth. The public was there when they got married, so he should explain—at what point did he decide he was done with Annie? When did he fall out of love with her? What gave him the audacity to walk away?”
Public reactions
Brown’s comments have added fuel to an already heated debate. Many fans have taken to social media to express their views. While some defend the singer’s right to move on, others accuse him of lacking commitment and respect for his marriage.
2Baba and Annie Idibia’s relationship has been in the public eye for years. Despite facing several ups and downs, they were considered one of Nigeria’s most admired celebrity couples. However, rumors of trouble in their marriage had been circulating for a while. The confirmation of his new romance with Natasha Osawaru—and his reported proposal—has intensified the backlash.
Critics say 2Baba acted too fast
Many believe that 2Baba’s quick transition into a new relationship raises questions about whether he had emotionally checked out of his marriage long before making it public. Some argue that his actions show a disregard for the vows he made to Annie.
Others feel that celebrities who build a public image around their marriages should be more transparent when those relationships end. They insist that 2Baba cannot simply walk away without addressing the situation, especially considering Annie’s emotional investment in the marriage.
Supporters defend 2Baba’s right to move on
On the other hand, some of 2Baba’s supporters argue that he has a right to pursue happiness. They believe relationships do not always last forever and that he should not be judged for starting a new chapter in his life. Some have also pointed out that the public does not know all the details of what went wrong in his marriage.
Annie Idibia remains silent amid controversy
As the discussions continue, neither 2Baba nor Annie has made a detailed public statement about their separation. While 2Baba has confirmed his relationship with Osawaru, he has not responded to the backlash. Annie, on the other hand, has remained mostly silent, leaving fans to speculate about her thoughts and emotions.
What’s next for 2Baba?
With emotions running high, it remains to be seen whether 2Baba will address the concerns raised by Brown and others or if the controversy will gradually fade. For now, his love life continues to be a trending topic, with opinions sharply divided over whether he acted irresponsibly or is simply moving on.
