Nigerian singer Brymo has revealed that 2Baba once confronted his ex-wife Annie Macaulay-Idibia in front of him, asking her directly whether she had ever been intimate with Brymo. The singer made this disclosure during an appearance on the Notjustok podcast.
Brymo, whose full name is Olawale Ashimi, said the incident happened in 2019 at an office belonging to someone named Naomi in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos. He said 2Baba looked him in the eyes and turned to Annie with the question.
Brymo Recounts the 2019 2Baba Confrontation Over Annie
Brymo quoted 2Baba directly, saying the music star asked Annie in Pidgin, “Annie, you don fuck Brymo?” He said he would never forget that moment and described himself as someone people underestimate.
He did not say what Annie’s response was. He did not say whether 2Baba’s question led to any argument or altercation between them. Those details were not disclosed in the interview.
Brymo and 2Baba have both been prominent figures in Nigerian music for over a decade. 2Baba and Annie Macaulay, who married in 2012, announced their separation earlier this year. The context of the 2019 office meeting was not fully explained during the podcast.
Brymo Warns Younger Artistes Against Affairs With Married Women
Brymo used the disclosure to deliver a warning to younger musicians in the industry. He said he had personal experience with affairs involving married women, adding that many of them told him they were separated from their husbands at the time.
He said such relationships carry serious consequences. His words on the podcast were direct: stop sleeping with people’s wives because it could cut an artiste’s life short.
He did not name any of the women he said he had been involved with. He framed his admission as a cautionary account, not a boast.
What Brymo’s Revelation Means for the 2B aba-Annie Story
The disclosure adds a new dimension to the public narrative around 2Baba and Annie’s marriage. Their relationship had been the subject of sustained public attention over the years, with Annie making several public statements about the difficulties she faced.
Brymo’s account, if accurate, suggests that 2Baba had specific suspicions about his wife and Brymo as far back as 2019. Whether those suspicions were ever addressed or resolved between the three parties was not stated.
2Baba has not responded publicly to Brymo’s podcast comments as of the time this report was filed. Annie Macaulay has also not issued any statement in response. Attempts to reach representatives for both were not confirmed before publication.
The Notjustok podcast is a widely followed platform in Nigeria’s music industry and regularly features candid conversations with major artists. Brymo’s appearance has drawn significant attention online since the clip circulated.
Brymo’s Broader Message to the Music Industry
Beyond the specific revelation about 2Baba and Annie, Brymo positioned his comments as industry advice. He said younger artists are often reckless with relationships and that the consequences can be career-ending or worse.
He acknowledged his own past behavior and did not present himself as beyond reproach. He said the women he encountered often misrepresented their marital situations, but he stopped short of shifting all responsibility away from himself.
His comments have sparked debate among music fans and industry followers on social media. Some have questioned why he chose to disclose the 2Baba-Annie detail publicly. Others have praised him for speaking plainly about an issue they say is common in entertainment circles.
Brymo has never been one to avoid controversy. He has previously made public statements about colleagues and industry practices that generated strong reactions. This latest disclosure is consistent with his reputation for unfiltered public commentary.
The full podcast episode featuring Brymo is available on the Notjustok platform. The conversation covered multiple topics beyond the 2Baba revelation, though that portion of the interview is what has gained the most traction online since it was published.
