Nigerian music icon 2Baba has reacted to widespread speculation that he has reunited with his ex-wife, Annie Idibia, after a video of the former couple dancing together resurfaced on social media.
The clip, which recently went viral across several platforms, sparked rumours of a possible reconciliation between the pair, prompting mixed reactions from fans and celebrities alike. The speculation also revived conversations surrounding the couple's highly publicised separation, with some public figures who had previously taken sides during the breakup expressing surprise at the development.
Annie Idibia was the first to respond to the rumours, taking to her Instagram Story to caution social media users against believing everything they see online.
“Believe everything u see on social media at ur expense.”
Her statement fuelled further debate, with many wondering whether the viral clip was recent or simply being recirculated online.
2Baba has now addressed the speculation, putting the rumours to rest by clarifying that the trending video is not new.
Sharing a brief message on his Instagram Story, the award-winning singer wrote:
“Abeg nah old video o.”
His clarification indicates that the circulating footage predates the couple's separation and does not suggest that they have rekindled their relationship.
The rumours come about a year and six months after 2Baba publicly announced his separation from Annie Idibia, bringing an end to one of Nigeria's most closely followed celebrity marriages.
Despite the renewed public interest, neither 2Baba nor Annie has indicated that they have reconciled, with the singer's latest statement suggesting the viral video has been taken out of context.
