- Comedian Ayo Makun (AY) weighs in on the controversy surrounding singer 2Baba.
- 2Baba faced backlash for saying he felt “trapped” in his marriage to Annie Idibia.
- AY says the singer’s apology looked like it was made under pressure.
Popular comedian and filmmaker Ayo Makun, widely known as AY, has reacted to the ongoing drama involving music icon Innocent Idibia, better known as 2Baba.
2Baba recently stirred controversy after a viral interview in which he admitted feeling trapped in his marriage to actress Annie Idibia and claimed monogamy is not natural for men. His comments sparked heated debates online and drew heavy backlash.
In an attempt to calm the storm, 2Baba issued a public apology to his partner, Natasha, but many felt the apology came off as insincere and failed to stop the criticism.
Adding his voice to the conversation, AY Makun shared his perspective on the apology video. According to him, 2Baba looked like a man acting under pressure rather than speaking freely. He also called out societal expectations that force men to bottle up their emotions and “man up,” saying it often backfires when they do open up.
AY wrote:
“It’s always easy to cast the first stone at the supposed offender. No one pauses to ask him the most human question — ‘Are you okay?’ And when they do, it’s rarely without an agenda. No one really cares.
I just saw a man under duress taking accountability for his actions. Not because he’s perfect, but because he’s human. As men, we’re raised to suffer in silence. Whether we’re right or wrong, we’re told to ‘man up.’ Even when we finally speak, it rarely ends well.”
AY’s comments have sparked even more debate online, with some people agreeing with his take, while others argue that 2Baba should still be held accountable for his words and actions.
