  • Nigerian actress Annie Macaulay has covered a tattoo of her ex-husband 2Baba's name with a butterfly image.
  • The change follows recent rumors of a reunion with the singer, which she dismissed as old videos presented out of context.
  • Annie and 2Baba, who share two daughters, ended their marriage in January 2025.

Nigerian actress Annie Macaulay has altered a prominent tattoo of her former husband, singer Innocent Idibia, widely known as 2 Baba. The inscription "Idibia" on her left chest has been replaced with a butterfly design, a change first noticed in photos shared on her Instagram page.

This modification comes shortly after Macaulay dismissed rumors suggesting a reconciliation with the music star. She addressed the speculation on her Instagram Stories, clarifying that circulating videos fueling the claims were old and taken out of context. "Old videos circulating everywhere, false news everywhere," she wrote.

The resurfaced video, showing the former couple sharing an affectionate moment at a nightclub, had initially sparked reconciliation rumors. However, Macaulay's latest post and the tattoo cover-up appear to further signal her moving on from the relationship.

Annie and 2 Baba, who have two daughters together, announced the end of their marriage in January 2025 after more than a decade. The singer has since married Natasha Osawaru, a lawmaker from Edo State.
