Legendary Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has finally reacted to the viral video showing him dancing with his ex-wife, Annie Idibia, which had sparked widespread speculation that the former couple had reconciled.
The video, which resurfaced on social media over the weekend, showed 2Baba and Annie sharing a lighthearted moment while dancing together.
The clip quickly generated reactions from fans and celebrities alike, with many interpreting it as a sign that the estranged couple had rekindled their relationship.
As the rumours gained momentum online, several social media users began celebrating what they believed was a reunion, while others expressed surprise, especially those who had publicly taken sides during the couple’s highly publicised separation.
In response to the growing speculation, Annie Idibia was the first to address the rumours.
Taking to her Instagram Story on Monday, the actress and entrepreneur cautioned Nigerians against believing everything they see online.
She wrote:
“Believe everything u see on social media at ur expense.”
Her statement suggested that the viral clip did not necessarily reflect the current state of their relationship, but it did not completely clarify when the video was recorded.
Hours later, 2Baba also broke his silence through his own Instagram Story, where he dismissed the reunion rumours and explained that the circulating clip was not recent.
The singer wrote:
“Abeg nah old video o.”
The brief response effectively shut down speculation that he and Annie had gotten back together, confirming that the video was recorded before their separation became public.
The clarification comes one year and six months after 2Baba announced his separation from Annie Idibia, ending one of the most talked-about celebrity marriages in Nigeria.
The couple had been together for many years and share children, making their split a major topic of discussion across the entertainment industry and social media.
Their relationship had experienced several public challenges over the years, including allegations of infidelity, family disputes and emotional struggles, many of which played out in the public eye.
Despite the separation, both 2Baba and Annie have occasionally been seen attending family-related events, which has continued to fuel speculation among fans about the possibility of reconciliation.
The latest viral video reignited those hopes, with many fans expressing excitement before the singer clarified that the footage was from the past.
Following 2Baba’s response, reactions online have remained mixed.
Some fans said they were disappointed that the video was not recent, while others praised the singer for quickly setting the record straight before the rumours escalated further.
Others also commended Annie for her earlier warning about social media assumptions, noting how easily old content can be recirculated and misinterpreted.
As of now, neither 2Baba nor Annie has indicated any plans to reconcile, and both appear focused on their individual lives and careers.
The singer’s clarification, however, has brought an end to the latest round of speculation surrounding the former couple’s relationship status.
The incident also highlights how quickly celebrity rumours can spread online, especially when old videos or photos resurface without context.
For fans of the iconic pair, the viral clip may have offered a nostalgic reminder of their once-celebrated relationship, but according to 2Baba, it should not be taken as evidence of a reunion.
