They succeeded
in convincing skeptics that their over a decade long relationship was not just
a flash in the pan when they got engaged on Valentines Day last year. But while
everyone thought they would have a star-studded wedding, 2face and Annie Idibia
settled for a private civil marriage shortly after.
To many,
this was understandable, considering the presence of two major
characters/lovers in the singer’s life – Sunmbo Ajaba and Pero Adeniyi. The
two bore him four children, with the sixth (Adeniyi’s) born last year.
With the
court marriage already done and dusted, fans of the couple, who were
already used to addressing Annie as Mrs Idibia, had no inkling of a white
wedding ceremony in the offing, especially since the singer said he chose to
have a quiet wedding so as not to hurt the other women in his life. But all
that changed after a tweet by South Africa-based actress and model, Kendra
Etufunwa, a close friend of the lucky bride to be.
The tweet
posted on December 30th read, “Wedding planning with the bride to be @Annie
Macaulay#Act like you know.” The post had set Twitter ablaze with
congratulatory messages, while giving bloggers juicy gists to feast on.
For now,
it is no secret that 2face Idibia and his African Queen, Annie Macaulay,
are currently planning a talk-of-the-town wedding shindig, rumoured to hold in
the ‘exotic’ Caribbean Islands on February 14, barely a few weeks down the
line.
While
Macaulay is already in New York, shopping for a befitting wedding gown, bridal
dresses contracted to Yvonne Nwosu (hip hop singer, Ice Prince’s latest love
interest) of Vonne Couture, the traditional wedding scheduled to take place in
Abuja. There is a celebrity line up of brides maids, which include actress
Kendra Etufunwa and TV personality Tana Egbo Adelana, meaning that all is no
doubt, set for the big day.
Now,
the sharp-shooting star’s other baby mamas must finally have accepted the
reality.
Judging
by the preparations and media buzz the forthcoming wedding has attracted thus
far, some persons are of the opinion that it is only human for the other
baby mama’s be envious of Annie, as she won the eventual price.
But this
does not seem to be the case as they appear to have fast moved on with their
lives. Unlike in the past, there is no social media war among the ‘rivals’
Indeed, Macaulay appears to be closer to Ajaba, who bears a
striking semblance with 2face Idibia and has two boys for the singer. The least
vocal of all his baby mothers, Ajaba, who is a divorcee, is now said to be a
born again Christian. She is a choir leader and praise leader at Royalty
Christian Centre, Orile Agege, Lagos.
The
former banker-turned entrepreneur is believed to be a close friend of Annie. At
least, they are constantly in touch on Twitter. Her sons and Macaulay’s
daughter regularly visit each other and occasionally sleep over. Also, a tweet
posted by Macaulay mid last year suggested that Ajaba bought a pair of shoes
for Isabella, the formers daughter.
Ironically,
just a few days after the news of the 2face wedding was made public, it was
also revealed that Ajaba, who currently runs Esobs Events, was getting
married to Pastor Adeoye, the General Overseer of Royalty Christian Centre. She
is also a chorister in Pastor Adeoye’s church.
For now,
Adeniyi appears to be the only one who may not have decided on what next. A
divorcee herself and the most vocal of all three – especially on Twittter – has
gone back stage for now. Famous for brandishing herself as 2face’s wife on
Twitter, to spite the other women, very little is now known about her.
Herr Twitter and Facebook accounts have even since been deleted.
As the
daughter of POATSON boss, Jide Adeniyi, Pero’s relationship with the
singer dates back to 2005. According to reports, after being attacked by
robbers in his Festac home, Idibia was injured and traumatised.
While on
admission at the hospital, ladies trooped in to visit and wish him well.
Adeniyi was said to be one of the lot and a relationship kicked off almost
immediately.
