Singer and content creator, Lawal Michael Nasiru Bolaji better known as Nasboi, has stated that when he eventually gets married, he will keep his union private to prevent outsiders from weighing in with their opinions on social media.
Nasboi made this remark amid the intense reactions surrounding 2Baba’s recent revelation that he and his wife, Annie, are heading for divorce.
Taking to his Twitter page, he wrote
“I’ll hide my marriage when I’m ready. Nothing online, please, please! I don’t want some random child having opinions about my life.”
In another post, Nasboi berated Nigerians for using 2baba and Annie Idibia’s ongoing marital crisis as a yardstick for marriages. He noted how Netizens begin to say marriage isn’t for them when a celebrity divorces, but they forget their parents, who have been married for over three decades.
Nasboi admonished the public to stop using celebrity marriages to define marriage, as he noted how it is a choice to marry or not.
One celebrity divorce, and you start saying this thing called marriage isn’t for you. But you forget about your parents, who’ve been married for over 30-something years. Stop using celebrity marriages to define marriage. If you don’t want to marry, that’s your business.”
2Baba Drops Bombshell on Marriage, Then Backtracks—Celebrities React
On Sunday evening 26th January, 2Baba sent shockwaves through social media when he announced his separation from his wife of over a decade, Annie Idibia, via Instagram. He revealed that they had been separated for a while and were on the brink of divorce, promising a press release to share his side of the story.
However, in a dramatic twist, the singer later claimed his account was hacked and denied making the post. But just when fans thought the confusion was over, he doubled back again, sharing videos where he openly admitted their marriage had crashed.
Since the shocking revelation, celebrities have weighed in. Media personality, Toke Makinwa expressed her disappointment in 2Baba’s handling of the situation and vowed to stand by Annie.
BBNaija’s Queen Atang voiced concern for Annie, hoping she was coping well, while fellow reality star Khloe Abiri questioned why 2Baba would make such an announcement, knowing Annie was already facing intense backlash over her behavior on Young, Famous & African. She warned that if it wasn’t a prank, she would join others in calling him out.
Celebrity designer Toyin Lawani urged empathy, stating that people shouldn’t kick someone when they’re already down. She advocated for love, growth, and learning from life’s experiences.
Women’s advocate Ifedayo Agoro, better known as Diary of a Naija Girl, blasted 2Baba for abandoning Annie after “grooming” her, calling his behavior disgusting. She accused him of walking away during her lowest moment, just as the public continued to crucify her.
Delta State Governor’s aide, Ossai Ovie Success, also slammed 2Baba, calling his post insensitive and disrespectful, especially given that Annie had recently suffered a miscarriage of twins while enduring intense scrutiny from the public.
With the situation unfolding rapidly, all eyes remain on the couple as fans await further developments.
