Lagos, Nigeria – January 27, 2025
In a shocking and heartfelt post, Charlybrave Idibia, the younger brother of Nigerian music icon Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, has poured out his frustrations regarding the ongoing issues in the Idibia household. The lengthy statement, shared on Charlybrave’s official Instagram account, sheds light on the strained relationship between Annie Idibia, 2Baba’s wife, and his family.
The Message
In his post, Charlybrave expressed his deep disappointment, recounting incidents of alleged violence and tension caused by Annie Idibia. He began by stating:
“I pray for composure as I write this and I pray for clarity because there is so much to say. This is in no shape or form an attack on anybody; I just want to create a peaceful space in my heart and move forward.”
He addressed Annie directly, claiming he had always treated her with love and respect for the sake of his brother, despite what he described as her continuous animosity toward him and other family members.
Allegations of Public Humiliation and Violence
Charlybrave cited numerous incidents where he alleged Annie publicly humiliated 2Baba:
- Throwing food at 2Baba during Charlybrave’s wedding.
- Hurling a bottle of Hennessy at 2Baba in his workplace.
- Public arguments, including one at the airport, which he described as avoidable and better suited for private resolution.
He also accused Annie of instructing her maids to lock doors and send keys to South Africa while 2Baba’s mother was visiting their home, forcing her to stay at Charlybrave’s residence.
“War is Your Only Language”
Charlybrave claimed Annie has created enemies out of thin air and engaged in conflicts that have impacted the family. He revealed how Annie allegedly attacked his wife just three weeks after they suffered the loss of their baby because his wife refused to align with Annie’s disputes with 2Baba’s former partners, often referred to as “baby mamas.”
In a particularly alarming section of the post, Charlybrave raised concerns over the safety of his brother. He wrote:
“What scares me most these days is the violence. Where does it end, Annie? The fights… Is it when you stab him in the chest while he sleeps over a call from Pero demanding he speaks to his kids in the middle of the night due to the time difference from the U.S.?”
Accusations of Neglect
The post also accused Annie of neglecting familial ties with her in-laws, claiming she never visited or called except when it benefitted her. Charlybrave contrasted this with his own efforts to maintain cordial relations, such as sending gifts during birthdays and holidays.
He also criticized Annie’s portrayal of a loving wife and in-law on social media, calling it a facade:
“All your love is seen only on Instagram… all for the photo-op.”
Family Dynamics and Calls for Peace
Charlybrave insisted that the Idibia family had tried to accept Annie wholeheartedly but were met with resistance. He described her as being blinded by “pre-installed hate” and unwilling to let go of grudges. He expressed hope for peace, especially for the sake of the children involved, but stated that Annie’s actions continually disrupted the harmony in their lives.
A Plea for Reflection
The post ended on a somber note, with Charlybrave urging Annie to reconsider her actions and their implications for the family:
“Have a re-think, Annie. You made us victims of your rage and the war you have chosen never to let go. Yet you are quick to cry foul. Life is bigger than who has money and who doesn’t. I wish you peace and all the best, Annie. God knows I’ve tried. Bye.”
Public Reaction
The post has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with fans and commentators divided on the issue. While some have expressed sympathy for 2Baba and his family, others have called for privacy and urged all parties involved to resolve their disputes amicably.
Context
This statement follows a series of publicized marital issues between 2Baba and Annie Idibia, including allegations of infidelity and frequent disputes. Annie has not yet responded to these new allegations, but the post has reignited conversations about their tumultuous relationship and its impact on the Idibia family.
For now, the world watches as this personal matter unfolds in the public eye, with many hoping for a peaceful resolution.
