Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as Tuface, has stirred massive reactions across social media after confirming his separation from his wife, Annie Macaulay-Idibia. The Nigerian music icon made the announcement through an Instagram post, revealing that the couple had been living apart for some time and had filed for divorce.
The post, however, was later deleted, with Tuface claiming his account had been hacked. To set the record straight, he went live on Instagram, reaffirming the news of their split. This development was further underscored by the couple unfollowing each other on social media, signaling the seriousness of their breakup.
Tuface also mentioned plans to release an official statement to clarify his position on the matter, leaving fans and followers eager for more details. The announcement quickly became a trending topic, dominating conversations on X (formerly Twitter) and other platforms.
The reactions from fans and celebrities have been both emotional and divisive. Many criticized Tuface for taking such a personal matter to social media, with some questioning his motives and others empathizing with Annie’s resilience throughout their marriage.
Annie’s close friend, media personality Toke Makinwa, strongly condemned Tuface’s approach. “This is wrong on all levels,” she wrote, adding, “You should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here. If you think she’s alone, you’ll have to fight all of us.”
Another user, @Carleycool, highlighted Annie’s emotional struggles in the marriage, referencing Tuface’s complex history. “Annie ignored a lot of red flags and should’ve left a long time ago, but she chose love. 2Baba should bow in shame for doing this to her on social media,” she commented.
For some, Annie’s decision to stay in the marriage despite its challenges sparked debate. @brandnewfidel noted, “Marrying a chronic womanizer with plenty of stepkids like 2Baba was the worst gamble Annie took as an emotionally fragile woman.”
On the other hand, others questioned the double standards surrounding public divorce announcements. User @zed4evr argued, “Why should you feel it’s bad for a man to announce his divorce but okay for a woman to do so? Everyone’s mental health matters.”
Amid the criticism, there were messages of support for both Tuface and Annie. Many emphasized the importance of leaving toxic relationships, prioritizing mental health, and rediscovering one’s identity after a marriage ends.
@auroranaya wrote, “Toxic is toxic. Anyone who isn’t happy has the right to walk away, irrespective of who’s involved. Annie has the right to decide to be a better person for herself, not anyone else.”

Another fan, @treazyblaq, expressed a balanced view: “It’s heartbreaking to see them part ways, but sometimes separation is necessary for mental health. Healing may take time, particularly for Annie, but she will eventually find happiness again. Marriage is about two becoming one, but you must never lose your own identity.”
Tuface and Annie’s relationship has always been under the spotlight, from their fairytale wedding to the numerous controversies surrounding their union. Their separation has reignited conversations about the pressures of celebrity marriages, the importance of emotional well-being, and the need for boundaries in public and private relationships.
While fans remain divided, the focus now shifts to the healing process for both parties. The couple’s journey highlights the complexities of love, fame, and the struggles that often come with trying to make a marriage work under public scrutiny. As the story unfolds, the public continues to offer opinions, lessons, and support in this dramatic chapter of their lives.
