Annie Macaulay has set the social media abuzz after quietly switching her Instagram name back to Annie Idibia, a move many found intriguing given the ongoing drama involving her ex-husband, Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, and his current partner, Natasha.
The subtle update didn’t go unnoticed. Fans quickly grabbed screenshots and circulated them online, wondering what might have prompted the change. Annie herself has offered no explanation, leaving the public to draw their own conclusions.
Reactions have since been divided. While some Nigerians insist she merely returned to a name that has long been part of her identity, others believe the timing is far too coincidental to overlook.
Read some netizens’ reactions below;
Paul Uchenna Nweke: “Maybe Tubaba sent her a text message saying “ever since I left youuuuuuuuuuuu, l’ve been through hell and I’m back. And now my baby, 1, l wanna give you all my heart and my soul”.
Mary Ekpo: “What is going on is that she cannot automatically change that name cos alot of registration is done using her marital name.”
Chinazam Queen
: “Because of her documents.. her account is verified with idibia.. to change am no dey easy. that’s why you see women still answering husband surname after separation.”
Momoh Isiaka: “You see marriage issues when spouses are quarrelling don’t carry it on your head because die minutes they might shock you.”
This comes amid a chaotic week for 2Baba and Natasha. A recent viral video showed UK police officers confronting the music icon outside a retail store. In the clip, he was questioned before being escorted away with his hands cuffed behind him.
Just hours after the video circulated, another dramatic moment unfolded. During a live Instagram session hosted by Daddy Freeze, loud shouting was heard between 2Baba and Natasha in the background. The stream ended abruptly after 2Baba was heard asking, “What is your problem?” before Natasha grabbed the phone.
With all these unfolding incidents, Annie’s quiet decision to revert to her married name has only fueled speculation, drawing mixed reactions from an already attentive online community.
