Inside 2baba’s family: A look at his 7 children
Ace Nigerian singer, 2face Idibia has been in the news recently for his separation from his ex-wife, Annie and his engagement to his fiancée, Natasha Osawaru.
The singer is a father to seven children with three women: Sumbo Ajala (now known as Sumbo Adeoye), Pero Adeniyi (now known as Pero Adeniyi Agofure), and Annie Macaulay (formerly known as Annie Idibia).
Let’s get to meet them, from the eldest to the youngest. But first, a quick walk down memory lane.
The love story that started it all
Annie and 2baba (known at the time as 2face Idibia) met in 1999 at Ezra Studio.
They both took to each other on the spot. 2face was was on the verge of becoming a breakout star and Annie was a 15-year-old budding movie star and model.
Their instant chemistry soon blossomed into a relationship shortly after.
Then when she was 19, 2baba asked her to feature in the music video to his song, ‘African Queen‘.
Recollecting the experience in 2022, Annie said, “19 years ago, while still struggling to find my feet in the modeling industry, my then-boyfriend who just broke from a boy band group called me to star in his new song (African Queen).”
2baba officially confirmed their relationship shortly after the music video was released during an interview.

Although 2baba and Annie met before he became a music superstar, his first child is from his ex-grilfriend, Sumbo with whom he has two children. He has three children with his on-and-off ex-lover, Pero and finally two children with his recently estranged ex-wife, Annie.
