Veteran musician Baba Fryo has weighed in on the collapsed marriage between music icon 2Baba and his ex-wife, Annie Idibia, attributing the breakdown to their shared entertainment lifestyle.
Speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast, Baba Fryo said the couple’s inability to manage their union was due to both being in the entertainment industry, which he believes can create conflict when not properly handled.
He explained that, traditionally, a woman is expected to be a stabilising force in a marriage, especially when her partner is involved in vices. However, he questioned how stability can be achieved when both partners exhibit similar habits.
Baba Fryo also revealed a personal connection to 2Baba’s current partner, Natasha, claiming he had known her since childhood and once carried her on his lap when she was just three years old.

“2Face and his ex-wife didn’t manage themselves well. They are both entertainers. Annie is an actress, and 2Face is a musician,” he said.
“In marriage, when the couple are out, the woman must watch the man. When the man is drinking, the woman will be watching him, and if he is drinking too much, the woman will calm him. But if you marry a woman who also drinks, when you’re both drunk, who will take the other home?
“When a man sees that, he will become insecure in the marriage. And when he goes out and sees another woman with a different attitude… I’m not saying it’s a good attitude, oh, because even 2Face’s current lover, Natasha, is someone I have known”.
