Legendary music icon Innocent idibia, better known as 2Face, has spoken about his decision to end his marriage to Annie after being together for over a decade.<\/p>\n
In a recent interview on the 234 Mzansi Podcast hosted by Nedu, 2Face shared that he and Annie had given their best efforts to save the marriage, but ultimately decided to part ways.<\/p>\n
While declining to discuss the specific reason for their separation publicly, he described Annie as an amazing woman. He emphasised that no one should feel pressured to stay in an unhappy union.<\/p>\n
The music icon also noted that individuals should not allow societal expectations to dictate their feelings, stating that forcing a relationship that is not working can lead to unnecessary suffering.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI think both of us gave it our best. And why we\u2019re not together today is not something I\u2019m going to talk about publicly.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe and her have our own understanding. She\u2019s amazing, it just wasn\u2019t working no more. Something wey una get before wey no dey again, that\u2019s why I said I won\u2019t talk about it here.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think you should try to fix your marriage but if it\u2019s beyond that, I don\u2019t think anybody should force anything. Only people in the marriage know exactly what they\u2019re feeling.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always good not to torture yourself, and not to allow society or people to dictate your feelings. Because this thing called \u2018living in bondage\u2019 is real and many people have gone to their grave very sad people.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo for me, if it\u2019s obvious that people cannot work things out then I don\u2019t think anybody should force themselves to be together.\u201d<\/p>\n
2Face\u2019s explanation stirred mixed reactions among netizens \u2013 while some applauded the music star, others accused him of being a serial cheat and talking too much.<\/p>\n

@t_e_s_s_y123 commented, \u201cOh shes amazing now? Nice you saying the truth about your ex, as it should be. Annie\u2019s crime was loving someone else more than herself. We can all learn from their story, women you cannot love a man more than he loves you\u201d<\/p>\n
@rejioce.johnson.12 reacted, \u201cStay with your new wife oo, even if Annie\u2019s at fault we are happy that shes no longer in the marriage. Let her choose herself for once. Annie deserves love not a serial cheat that will make her look like she is the problem\u201d<\/p>\n
@belleglamchic said, \u201cWhy him dey jump from one interview to another since\u201d<\/p>\n
@agentvic_ wrote, \u201cTo those bashing him for what he said, you would have collected the mic and helped him talk better now, since you were with him in the marriage, if he had said she is terrible they would still attack him. He spoke well and decided not to give them the regular negativity they wanted to hear and humans are still bashing him. Everything is not by force, it did not work out and that is it. Learn to allow people to make their choices\u201d<\/p>\n
@favsgold_declutter said, \u201cMay we not love who will leave us halfway in life, Amen\u201d<\/p>\n
Recall that 2Face, who recently started a new relationship with Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru after announcing his divorce earlier this year, caused a stir on social media with his assertion that men cannot be with just one woman.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
