Legendary music icon Innocent Idibia, better known as 2Face, has spoken about his decision to end his marriage to Annie after being together for over a decade.
In a recent interview on the 234 Mzansi Podcast hosted by Nedu, 2Face shared that he and Annie had given their best efforts to save the marriage but ultimately decided to part ways.
While declining to discuss the specific reason for their separation publicly, he described Annie as an amazing woman. He emphasised that no one should feel pressured to stay in an unhappy union.
The music icon also noted that individuals should not allow societal expectations to dictate their feelings, stating that forcing a relationship that is not working can lead to unnecessary suffering.
He said: “I think both of us gave it our best. And why we’re not together today is not something I’m going to talk about publicly.
“Me and her have our own understanding. She’s amazing, it just wasn’t working no more. Something wey una get before wey no dey again, that’s why I said I won’t talk about it here.
“I think you should try to fix your marriage but if it’s beyond that, I don’t think anybody should force anything. Only people in the marriage know exactly what they’re feeling.
“It’s always good not to torture yourself, and not to allow society or people to dictate your feelings. Because this thing called ‘living in bondage’ is real and many people have gone to their grave very sad people.
“So for me, if it’s obvious that people cannot work things out then I don’t think anybody should force themselves to be together.”
2Face’s explanation stirred mixed reactions among netizens – while some applauded the music star, others accused him of being a serial cheat and talking too much.
