Actress Annie Macaulay, the estranged wife of Afrobeats icon, Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, has posted a series of cryptic messages on Instagram following the circulation of a video showing the singer in a public confrontation in London.
Shortly after the footage emerged online showing 2Baba in an altercation that ended with him being led away by policemen, Annie updated her Instagram Stories on Monday with messages many users interpreted as reactions to the controversy.
In one of the posts, she wrote, “Sometimes, trying to prove that you are the best is an insult.”
She also shared an image of burning matchsticks, with one stick pulled aside to prevent the others from catching fire. The text attached to the illustration read: “The power of stepping away.”

The posts came hours after 2Baba appeared briefly on media personality Daddy Freeze’s Instagram Live.
During the broadcast, which featured two of the singer’s former management associates, Kaka Igbokwe and Lori Tosan, the duo accused 2Baba’s wife, Natasha Osawaru, of exerting undue influence over his personal and professional decisions.
The managers claimed Natasha managed 2Baba’s finances and public engagements, insisting the artist needed to be “saved” from her influence.
They referenced past explosive incidents, including an airport altercation and a domestic disturbance that nearly required police intervention.
Lori detailed one of the confrontations, saying: “From the happen stance at the airport, just trying to put all this together, as I saw that outburst, that toxic nature of her. You know, the first time that you meet someone and that person is toxic, those are red flags. That outburst was pure rage, from zero to 1000.”
He continued: “That person needs to be evaluated and understood because how would have so much rage from zero. I met them a couple of times asides the airport, I went to the apartment and what we witnessed again, same rage, see screaming. We were trying to keep her down so that police does not come a second time, she did not care. I want us to use this platform and let us save our artiste. You know sometimes, artistes speak through their music, anytime I hear that song ‘Save Me From Myself’, that is just 2Face crying out.”
The situation escalated when 2Baba abruptly joined the live session, telling the former managers to stop discussing his private affairs. Shortly afterward, loud arguments between him and Natasha was audible off-camera, with their voices growing increasingly heated before the broadcast was cut.
Moments later, viewers noticed a scuffle in the background, with Natasha appearing to restrain him during the live stream.
The latest video and Annie’s subsequent posts have reignited conversations about the personal turbulence surrounding the music star and the women in his life.
