In a heartfelt video and written statement released in the early hours of today, the “African Queen” singer took full responsibility for the pain caused by recent events in his personal life.
With tears in his eyes, 2Baba said:
“I was wrong. I hurt my wife, someone who has stood by me through everything. I hurt my children. I hurt my mother, my family, and all of you who have believed in me all these years.
I take full responsibility. No excuses. I am deeply sorry. I beg for forgiveness from Annie, from my children, from my mother, from the Idibias, the Macaulays, and from every one of you that I have let down.”
The apology comes amid weeks of intense public scrutiny following a series of social media posts, leaked messages, and family statements that highlighted strains in the 12-year marriage between 2Baba and Annie Idibia.
The legendary artist, who has always maintained a relatively private family life despite his superstar status, acknowledged that his actions and silence in recent times contributed to the escalation of the situation.
“I have been quiet for too long, and that silence caused more pain,” he continued.
“I am committed to Annie in front of the world, and I failed to protect that commitment the way she deserved. I am not proud of my mistakes, but I am committed to making things right, first with God, then with my wife and children.”
2Baba also appealed directly to fans and the media:
“Please respect our privacy as we go through this healing process as a family. Your prayers mean everything to us right now.”
The statement has triggered an outpouring of support across social media, with #WeLoveYou2Baba and #Forgiveness trending in Nigeria within hours.
Annie Idibia is yet to make a public comment on the apology.
2Baba, regarded as one of Africa’s most influential musicians of all time, says he is currently focusing on personal growth, family reconciliation, and spiritual renewal.
