A recent statement by Nigerian music legend Tuface Idibia announcing his separation from his wife, Annie, ignited controversy on social media.
A Nigerian woman has responded to the ongoing drama involving well-known Nigerian artist Tuface Idibia and his spouse, Annie.
The young woman criticized Tuface in her tweet for calling her by her maiden name and declaring his split from her.
When social media users saw the post on the X app, they flooded the comments section with their thoughts on the story.
The singer’s decision to publicly disclose the breakdown of his marriage and impending divorce proceedings was met with criticism.
Commenters on the X app were quick to express their disapproval, with one user, @callmeak_, lamenting the fact that Tuface had referred to his estranged wife by her maiden name, Macaulay.
“I and Annie Macaulay have been separated for a while now and currently filed divorce. I would grant 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 offence,” part of Tuface announcement read.
This move was perceived as a thoughtless gesture, particularly given that Annie had long been known by her married name, Idibia, and had allegedly stood up for her husband publicly.
Many fans and observers felt that the singer’s public declaration was an unnecessary and hurtful move, particularly given the sensitive nature of the situation.
“He even referred to her as Annie Macaulay. Maiden name that even she herself must have forgotten,” the lady said.

Olumayowa reacted: “Heartless man.”
LLC commented: “Make she get used to the program.”
Queens said: “Annie’s only crime is loving 2baba too much. I wished she never married him because she’s gonna be hurt as long as the other woman is single and hanging around. Most times love is not just enough reason to marry.”
