Nigerian music icon, Innocent Idibia, widely known as 2Baba, has openly discussed his struggles with sexual fidelity, admitting he finds it difficult to be committed to one woman.
2Baba, a prominent figure in the Nigerian music industry for many years, was candid in his confession.
He attributed his infidelity to what he described as “natural desires” that he claimed cannot always be suppressed.
The singer’s marital history has been a subject of public discourse and fascination.
He married actress Annie Macaulay-Idibia in 2012 after years of an on-and-off relationship marked by media attention and speculation.
Together, they have two children but their union has often been overshadowed by reports of infidelity and internal strife, with both parties at various times acknowledging challenges in their relationship.
Earlier this year, 2Baba confirmed his separation from Annie, announcing their impending divorce.
This news emerged amid reports linking him to a new romantic interest, Natasha Osawaru, a lawmaker from Edo State.
In his recent comments, 2Baba appeared to suggest that his actions were not premeditated betrayals, but rather the result of uncontrollable impulses.
“It is not because I don’t love my wife,” he implied, “but sometimes, it’s just hard to explain.”
The backlash on social media was swift and divided.
While a segment of users praised his honesty and claimed that many men shared the same struggles but lacked the courage to admit it, critics—especially women—condemned the comments as irresponsible and dangerous.
Annie Idibia, for her part, has remained largely silent on this latest revelation. In the past, she has described their marriage journey as painful and complicated.
In a previous interview, she tearfully recounted moments of heartbreak and the emotional toll of living in the spotlight with a partner whose past continually intrudes upon their present.
