Annie Idibia Drops “Instagram Subtitles” After 2Baba’s London Drama

When celebrities post cryptic messages, Nigerians don’t ignore it — we analyze it frame by frame.

Actress Annie Macaulay, estranged wife of Afrobeats legend Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, has set social media buzzing after sharing a series of “if you know, you know” Instagram posts. This came shortly after a video surfaced online showing 2Baba involved in a public confrontation in London that ended with police escorting him out of the scene.

From London Drama to Instagram Therapy

Not long after the video hit the internet, Annie updated her Instagram Stories with messages many online users quickly connected to the unfolding situation.

One post read:

“Sometimes, trying to prove that you are the best is an insult.”

No names were mentioned.
No explanations added.
But social media detectives clocked in immediately.

She followed that up with an image of burning matchsticks, one carefully separated to stop the fire from spreading. The caption?

“The power of stepping away.”

Translation, according to Nigerians online: distance is therapy.

Daddy Freeze LIVE, Then Everything Escalated

The timing of Annie’s posts raised eyebrows because they dropped just hours after 2Baba briefly appeared on Daddy Freeze’s Instagram LIVE.

The session featured two of the singer’s former management associates, Kaka Igbokwe and Lori Tosan, who accused 2Baba’s current wife, Natasha Osawaru, of having too much control over his personal and professional life.

As the conversation heated up, 2Baba himself joined the LIVE — clearly not in the mood for family group chat energy — and asked them to stop discussing his private affairs.

Moments later, viewers noticed commotion in the background, with Natasha appearing to restrain the singer as the situation grew tense.

Internet, once again, did not rest.

A Relationship Already Under the Microscope

Monday’s incident has further intensified public interest in 2Baba’s love life — something Nigerians have unfortunately been fully invested in all year.

Earlier in 2025, the singer confirmed his separation from Annie. He later proposed to Natasha Osawaru in February and officially married her in July, opening yet another chapter that quickly became public conversation material.

Final Thoughts

Between a London scuffle, a spicy Instagram LIVE, and Annie’s poetic Instagram posts, one thing is sure:
This story is far from over.

For now, Annie has said her piece — quietly, stylishly, and without typing a single long caption.

Sometimes, silence is loud.
And sometimes… Instagram Stories do all the talking 👀📱

“One Role? Impossible.” Singer Spaceboy Mercury Refuses to Be Boxed

If music careers came with job descriptions, Spaceboy Mercury would politely ignore them.

Budding singer Gbolahun Lawal, professionally known as Spaceboy Mercury and signed to MCE Entertainment, says he has zero interest in being limited to a single lane. According to him, he didn’t come into music to tick one box — he came to open all of them.

Speaking with Saturday Beats, Mercury explained that he sees himself as a full-package, new-age creator.

“I never allowed myself to be boxed into a single role — producing, writing, engineering, performing — I do it all. I approach music like an alchemist, mixing elements until they turn to gold.”

In other words: if the song needs help, Spaceboy Mercury will assist.

Passion, Pressure, and Plenty Hustle

Now based in South Africa, the 28-year-old artiste says passion has been his fuel — the kind that keeps the car running even when the road isn’t smooth. From industry highs to the inevitable lows, Mercury credits consistency, hard work, and stubborn belief in his talent for keeping him grounded.

Music industry pressure? He knows it well.
Giving up? Not on the playlist.

A Discography That Refuses to Sit Still

Spaceboy Mercury’s catalogue doesn’t respect genre limits or generation gaps. His creative fingerprints can be found on projects linked to heavyweights like 2Baba, Olamide, Vector, Bella Shmurda, Davido, BNXN, Fireboy DML, and Ayo Maff, among others.

Notable works include:

  • The “Mama Di Mama” Coca-Cola ad song

  • Vector – Vibe

  • Olamide – Choko Milo

  • Wadude ft. Bella Shmurda – Expensive Love

Basically, if the song sounded good and people hummed it later, there’s a chance Mercury was somewhere behind the scenes cooking.

Final Thoughts

While some artists pick one role and defend it with their life, Spaceboy Mercury is busy doing everything — and doing it well.

Boxed in?
Not this one 🚀🎶

Sunny Messiah Delivers “Paternity Leave” — No Boss, Just Baby Wahala

Comedian and professional mic commander, Sunday Onyenachiya, popularly known as Sunny Messiah, has officially clocked out of comedy rehearsal and clocked into history — after wrapping up the live recording of his debut stand-up special, Paternity Leave.

The comedy baptism happened before a sold-out crowd at the Alliance Française de Lagos/Mike Adenuga Centre, Ikoyi. Yes, sold out — meaning nobody carried last-minute “I know somebody” to the gate.

Comedy, Fatherhood & Premium Adult Stress

Sunny Messiah came armed with his trademark combo: clean English, sharp jokes, and stories that feel like they were taken straight from your family WhatsApp group.

Paternity Leave dives into fatherhood, marriage, family life, and the daily reality of Nigerian adulthood — where love is real, stress is constant, and sleep is optional.

According to Sunny Messiah himself:

“Paternity Leave is my story — love, joy, stress, and the small madness that comes with raising a family.”

Translation: Plenty laughter, small therapy.

He added that if someone laughs hard enough to gain courage for marriage or parenthood, then mission accomplished — because that’s the healing power of comedy.

Not a One-Man Show

The night wasn’t just about Daddy Messiah alone. The stage also welcomed rising comedy talents like ChimeFrancis, Iykomo, Dexmond, Funny Urch, Saint Envi, and AkanLaff, all contributing their own premium jokes to the evening.

To make sure nobody mistakenly thought it was only comedy, the show also featured:

  • A bass solo by HenryFretz

  • A musical performance from P’Madox

  • Smooth hosting duties by Ebuka Mic

And just when the audience thought they had recovered, Senator Comedian made a surprise appearance, sending excitement levels back to zero sleep and 100% laughter.

Final Word

With Paternity Leave, Sunny Messiah didn’t just tell jokes — he told stories every Nigerian adult understands. From diapers to discipline, marriage to money talk, the laughs came with truth attached.

If this is just the beginning, one thing is clear:
Sunny Messiah may be on paternity leave — but his comedy career has resumed full duty 👏😂

How the Gold Rush Is Remaking the Housing Market

Through two long weeks I wandered, stumbling through the nights guided only by the stars and hiding during the days behind some protruding rock or among the occasional hills I traversed.
For two days I waited there for Kantos Kan, but as he did not come I started off on foot in a northwesterly direction toward a point where he had told me lay the nearest waterway.

I shouted above the sudden noise.

I believe I have broken a finger here against his cursed jaw ain’t those mincing knives down in the forecastle there, men? look to those handspikes, my hearties. Captain, by God, look to yourself say the word don’t be a fool; forget it all; we are ready to turn to treat us decently, and we’re your men; but we won’t be flogged.

I and my wife stood amazed. Then I realised that the crest of Maybury Hill must be within range of the Martians’ Heat-Ray now that the college was cleared out of the way. At that I gripped my wife’s arm, and without ceremony ran her out into the road. Then I fetched out the servant, telling her I would go upstairs myself for the box she was clamouring for.

How Ordinary People Can Help Their Country

After many similar hair-breadth escapes, we at last swiftly glided into what had just been one of the outer circles, but now crossed by random whales, all violently making for one centre. This lucky salvation was cheaply purchased by the loss of Queequeg’s hat, who, while standing in the bows to prick the fugitive whales, had his hat taken clean from his head by the air-eddy made by the sudden tossing of a pair of broad flukes close by.

“I see nothing here, but a round thing made of gold, and whoever raises a certain whale, this round thing belongs to him. So, what’s all this staring been about? It is worth sixteen dollars, that’s true; and at two cents the cigar, that’s nine hundred and sixty cigars.

I won’t smoke dirty pipes like Stubb, but I like cigars, and here’s nine hundred and sixty of them; so here goes Flask aloft to spy ’em out.” What says the Cannibal? As I live he’s comparing notes; looking at his thigh bone; thinks the sun is in the thigh, or in the calf, or in the bowels, I suppose, as the old women talk Surgeon’s Astronomy in the back country.

A likely story indeed! said the Pigeon in a tone of the deepest contempt. ‘I’ve seen a good many little girls in my time, but never ONE with such a neck as that! No, no! You’re a serpent; and there’s no use denying it. I suppose you’ll be telling me next that you never tasted an egg! I HAVE tasted eggs, certainly,’ said Alice, who was a very truthful child; ‘but little girls eat eggs quite as much as serpents do, you know. I don’t believe it,’ said the Pigeon; ‘but if they do, why then they’re a kind of serpent, that’s all I can say.’
