Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has denied previous reports that his Instagram account was hacked.
In a video shared on his Instagram story on Sunday night, 2Baba confirmed that the controversial post regarding his separation from his wife, Annie Idibia, was actually posted by him.
The original post, which announced the end of his 13-year marriage to Annie, read: “Hello to my beautiful people of all federations. Well, this thing I have to say is short but also long…I and Annie Macaulay have been separated for a while now, and currently filed for divorce.
“I would grant a press release soon to say my story. Not because it is anyone’s right to know about my personal life but because I love my people and I need them to know my innocence or offense. Stay blessed my people. I love you all.”
Shortly after, another message was posted on the same account, claiming that the page had been hacked.
It read, “My Instagram account has been hacked, efforts are being carried out to take back control. #onelove!”
In a turn of events, 2Baba later shared a video to clarify the matter.
He confirmed that his account had not been hacked, contradicting the earlier statement, and implied that the original post about his separation was authentic.
