Popular Nigerian media personality, Toke Makinwa, has fiercely criticized music icon 2Baba for making his divorce from wife Annie Macaulay public. In a dramatic turn of events, Makinwa didn’t mince words as she called out the artist for bringing personal family matters to the public eye, describing his actions as “wrong on all levels.”
This comes after 2Baba’s Instagram revelation on Sunday, where he admitted that he and Annie had been separated for some time and were officially filing for divorce, signaling the end of their 12-year marriage. The announcement sent shockwaves through social media, igniting debates and drawing reactions from fans and celebrities alike.
Responding to 2Baba’s controversial video, Makinwa commented directly on the post, writing:
“This is wrong on all levels, and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here. Bring it on. If you think she’s alone, let me tell you here that you’ll have to fight all of us.”
Not stopping there, Toke took to her Instagram Stories to double down on her frustration, condemning both 2Baba’s actions and those who have chosen to remain neutral on the matter. She warned that silence in situations like this could have far-reaching consequences, particularly for women in society.
She wrote:
“I’m not one for too much talk, but what is wrong is wrong, and as a woman, if you sit on the fence on this one, if it misses you, it’ll touch your daughter or any female in your family.
“No one is innocent, and if you want to bring the media into it, knowing what is happening, we would fight for her.”
In another post on Monday, Makinwa questioned the timing and purpose of 2Baba’s decision to go public with the divorce announcement. She emphasized that while leaving a situation that no longer serves one’s well-being is understandable, dragging personal matters into the public sphere during such a sensitive time was unnecessary and harmful.
She wrote:
“Nobody is asking anybody to stay in a situation that’s not serving them any purpose anymore; by all means, leave if you must, but why bring this online this very moment?
“We know what is going on behind closed doors. The world doesn’t know anything; it’s already been hectic with opinions flying around, and when I say we will fight for her, I’m not talking about the general public.
“A handful of people know the truth, and time will tell. Timing is everything; empathy is everything. You constantly preach love; you cannot add to the narrative that’s out there when you know what is really happening behind closed doors.”
The outspoken media personality’s comments have sparked a fresh wave of conversations on social media about accountability, respect for privacy, and the role of public figures in navigating personal issues under the intense scrutiny of the public eye.
As the fallout from 2Baba’s announcement continues to dominate headlines, many are waiting to see whether the artist or Annie Macaulay will respond to Toke Makinwa’s remarks, as the story of their high-profile separation continues to unfold.
