Renowned Nigerian singer 2Baba has opened up about his separation from his wife of over ten years, Annie Macaulay.
The couple, who got married in May 2012, went their separate ways in January.
Speaking during a recent appearance on the 234 Mzansi Podcast, 2Baba addressed the split without delving into specific details.
The 49-year-old music star shared that both he and Annie, 40, did everything they could to make the marriage work but ultimately chose to part ways.
He described Annie as an “amazing woman” and emphasized that no one should feel obligated to remain in an unhappy relationship.
“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,” he said.
“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 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.”
2Baba also argued that it is “biologically impossible” for men to be sexually committed to one woman.
“I’ll speak for myself, but a man is not built to sexually be with one woman. His heart, love, and respect can be with one woman,” he said.
“But sexually, it is impossible for a man. An individual can decide not to go that route but I’m talking about the biology of men.
“It has gotten so many people into trouble and it’s a simple fact that you need to accept. Because so many heartache and unnecessary stress will be avoided if we understand this simple fact.”
