Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay Idibia has subtly reminded fans of her lasting connection to the “African Queen” legacy — a title immortalized by her ex-husband, 2Baba Idibia, in his hit song.
This comes after 2Baba was spotted in the UK enjoying a cozy night out with his new wife, Natasha Osawaru, whom he publicly introduced as his “African Queen” and the “love of his life” during a club appearance.
The singer’s affectionate declaration stirred nostalgia among fans who associate the title with Annie, his long-time muse and the star of the original African Queen music video.
Days later, Annie took to her Instagram story to share a photo of her daughters alongside a throw pillow bearing her image and the inscription “African Queen.” The post, though subtle, appeared to echo her sentimental claim to the title that once symbolized her love story with 2Baba.
Annie has recently made a series of quiet, cryptic posts seemingly directed at her ex-husband since their divorce in January 2025, after 2Baba publicly confirmed their separation. The music icon has since moved on with Natasha, an Edo lawmaker, amid rumors that the couple is expecting a child.
Through her calm yet symbolic gestures, Annie continues to spark conversations on love, legacy, and the enduring identity of the woman who once inspired one of Africa’s greatest love songs.
