Toke Makinwa slams 2Baba

Radio and TV personality Toke Makinwa addressed Nigerian singer 2Baba directly after his stunts.

Makinwa slammed 2Baba for bringing sensitive issues to the media, especially after Annie announced she lost their babies. Makinwa stated that the timing was off, saying she and other close friends would be fighting for Annie.

“No one is innocent, and if you want to bring the media into it, knowing what is happening, we would fight for her,” an angry Makinwa wrote.

2Baba refrained from sharing the reason behind this separation. However, Makinwa threatened that the truth shall be unveiled in due time.

“A handful of people know the truth, and time will tell. Timing is everything; empathy is everything. You constantly preach love; you cannot add to the narrative that’s out there when you know what is happening behind closed doors,” she further stated.

Relationship expert on importance of women supporting each other

Briefly News journalist Privie Kandi spoke to Paula Quinsee, a certified Imago Relationship Therapy Educator and Facilitator and the founder of Engaged Humans about the importance of women standing with each other in cases like 2Baba and Annie's high-profile divorce. She said:

"Women are naturally nurturers so offering support to each other in challenging times contributes greatly to our sense of solidarity and builds our sense of community which can:
"Provide emotional relief knowing that others understand and can empathise with us helps to alleviate our feelings of isolation and loneliness.
"Sharing experiences often leads to gaining practical insights and coping mechanisms which can make it easier for us to navigate more complex elements such as the financial and legal aspects of a divorce or break-up which can feel overwhelming.
