  A  video circulating on social media shows veteran Nigerian music icon, Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba and his estranged wife, who is a Nollywood actress, Annie Macaulay, dancing affectionately together, sparking online speculation about a possible reconciliation following their 2025 divorce filing. The couple, married since 2012 and parents to two daughters they have continued to co-parent amicably, separated after 2Baba stated the marriage was no longer working, later telling interviewers by February 2026 that he had moved on.

While sceptics argue that 2Baba appears noticeably more polished in the footage compared to his recent public appearances, noting that the video carries no timestamp and neither party has commented on it.
