Popular Nigerian comedian, Basketmouth, has addressed calls for him to comment on the ongoing marital crisis between music icon Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia and his wife, actress Annie Idibia.
The controversy began after 2Baba announced their separation on Sunday, sparking widespread reactions on social media, particularly among celebrities.
In a viral video shared on his Instagram page on Saturday, Basketmouth stated that he preferred to stay out of the matter. The comedian, who faced public scrutiny during his own divorce in 2022, emphasized that he had no desire to be dragged into the conversation.
“I have been receiving lots of emails and DMs from people asking why I don’t want to get involved in 2Baba and Annie’s matters. I have known 2Baba for 27 years and met Annie 24 years ago,” he said.
“However, I am not in any position to get involved because I am not qualified at all. I don’t want to say something that will make people bring up my own past and start dragging me.”
Basketmouth further added that he is focused on having a controversy-free year in 2025.
“This new year, I am just trying to have an ‘undraggable’ year. Please, don’t push me,” he concluded.
His response comes amid a wave of reactions from fans and industry colleagues regarding the separation of 2Baba and Annie Idibia, one of Nigeria’s most high-profile celebrity couples.
