While co-presenting the award for Best Afrobeat Singer of the Year with Farooq Oreagba, the celebrated “King of Steeze” from the 2024 Ojude Oba festival, Annie corrected herself from using her married name to her maiden name, prompting cheers and confirming her single status.
Introducing herself on stage, she briefly slipped saying, “Annie Idi… Oh sorry, Annie Macaulay. I’m a single lady,” drawing loud cheers from the audience.
The confirmation follows signs earlier in March, when Annie returned to social media after a two-month break, notably dropping “Idibia” and signing off as “Annie Uwana Macaulay” on Instagram.
The couple, who share two children, had officially ended their marriage in January 2025 after 2Baba publicly announced their separation earlier this year, Dailyeconomy reports.
Since then, 2Baba has moved on, proposing to Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru and introduced her to his family and kinsmen in Benue State, fueling speculation about his future plans.
