Nigerian model and actress, Annie Macaulay Idibia, has shared that she does not joke with her “backbone”—her two daughters, Isabella and Olivia. Speaking at the Headies Awards ceremony in Lagos, Annie emphasized the importance of her children in her life, particularly following her recent separation from her husband, 2Face Idibia.
Responding to a question about her family, Annie made it clear that her daughters are her only focus. In her statement, she confidently declared, “My children dey Kampe. The first one dey Yankee, she dey go school. No play with that girl o. I don’t play with my kids. Na them be my backbone,” adding that she has no time for anything that could harm her relationship with them.
During the event, Annie also subtly addressed her split from 2Face when she introduced herself on stage, humorously stating, “My name is Annie Idi—oh sorry, Annie Macaulay. Hey, single ladies!” This remark came just a day after 2Face publicly introduced his new partner, Natasha, to his mother.
Annie’s words highlight the strength and independence she draws from her children, who remain her top priority in the wake of personal challenges.
