Annie Macaulay Reacts After Club Welcomes Her With Ex-Husband 2Baba’s Surname

Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay has set the record straight on how she wants to be addressed following her divorce from music icon Innocent “2Baba” Idibia.

The actress took to her Instagram Stories to react after a nightclub welcomed her with an LED bottle-service display bearing the surname “Idibia,” her former husband’s name. Annie’s brief but telling response — “Hmmm” — was widely interpreted by fans as a sign of displeasure at being linked to the name.

Moments later, she shared a contrasting post from another club where she was introduced using her maiden name, Annie Macaulay, a move that appeared to reflect her preference and personal stance post-divorce.

The posts quickly sparked conversations online, with many fans and social media users weighing in on Annie’s decision to reclaim and emphasise her identity following the end of her marriage.

Annie Macaulay, a mother of two, has remained largely private about her divorce from the Afrobeats star but continues to signal, through subtle gestures, her desire to be recognised independently of her former marital name.
