Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay had a quiet yet impactful moment that captured everyone’s attention at the 2025 Headies Awards.
While introducing herself on stage, Annie nearly slipped and said her former last name, Idibia — a name tied to her marriage with music icon 2Baba (formerly known as Tuface Idibia). Catching herself mid-sentence, she quickly corrected course, proudly introducing herself by her maiden name, Macaulay.
The audience immediately picked up on the moment, erupting into loud cheers. With a bright smile and playful energy, Annie responded by shouting to the crowd, “Hey, my single ladies!” — a lively acknowledgment that seemed to signal she’s embracing this new chapter of her life.
Fans were divided on the moment: some believe it was a deliberate, empowering statement to show she’s doing well, while others suggest it was an honest slip, indicating she might still be adjusting to her new reality.
Either way, Annie Macaulay owned the stage — and the moment — with undeniable grace.
