Renowned Nigerian musician, Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia, has publicly addressed remarks made by comedian Bright ‘Basketmouth’ Okpocha concerning his recent separation from wife Annie Idibia. The couple’s split has been a focal point of public discourse, eliciting varied reactions from fans and celebrities alike.
In a recent Instagram post, 2Baba announced the end of his marriage to actress Annie Idibia, revealing that they had been living apart and were in the process of formalizing their divorce. This revelation sent shockwaves through social media platforms, prompting widespread discussions and speculations about the reasons behind the separation.
Amidst the ensuing media frenzy, Basketmouth, known for his satirical take on current events, released a video in collaboration with fellow comedian I Go Save. In the video, Basketmouth humorously lamented that the news of 2Baba and Annie’s marital issues had dominated online conversations, overshadowing the promotion of his upcoming comedy show. He jestedly suggested that 2Baba could have postponed the announcement to allow his event to gain more attention.
In response to Basketmouth’s lighthearted critique, 2Baba took to his Instagram Story to share a photo of the comedian, captioning it, “Allegedly jokes are not apart anymore, Basketmouth goated,” accompanied by a laughing emoji. The term “goated” is contemporary slang derived from the acronym “G.O.A.T.,” meaning “Greatest of All Time,” indicating 2Baba’s appreciation for Basketmouth’s comedic prowess.
This exchange highlights the camaraderie and mutual respect between the two entertainers, even amidst personal challenges. Basketmouth, who experienced his own marital dissolution in 2022, had previously addressed why he chose not to comment extensively on 2Baba and Annie’s situation. In a separate video, he explained, “I have known 2Face for 27 years and I met Annie 24 years ago. First of all, I’m not in any position to get involved because I’m not qualified at all. Make I no go talk the one wey go make people remember my own, con dey drag my head.”
The public reactions to 2Baba and Annie’s separation have been mixed, with many expressing sadness over the end of their union, while others have speculated on potential causes. Throughout this period, both parties have maintained a level of decorum, choosing to address the situation with measured responses.
2Baba’s acknowledgment of Basketmouth’s jest serves as a reminder of the importance of humor and support among peers during trying times.
