Comedian Basketmouth has announced he will not comment on the marital situation between 2Face and Annie Idibia. He cited his long-standing friendship with the couple and his own past experience with divorce as reasons for his silence. In a video message, he emphasized his lack of qualification to speak on the matter and his desire to avoid controversy in 2025. He humorously added that his only potential intervention would be to address those publicly speculating about the couple’s personal life.
Basketmouth explained that he has known 2Face for almost 27 years and Annie for 24 years, and he respects their privacy too much to comment. While expressing sympathy for the couple, he urged the public to refrain from excessive speculation. He specifically called out individuals like Toke Makinwa for contributing to the ongoing commentary. He stressed the importance of considering the couple’s children and family during this time.
Despite his decision to remain silent on the core issue, Basketmouth jokingly expressed his personal frustration with the timing of 2Face’s announcement. He lamented that it interfered with the promotion of his upcoming comedy tour, suggesting that 2Face should have consulted him before making the announcement. He quipped about the financial sensitivity of his tour and how the news might be perceived as insensitive. This decision from Basketmouth follows his own public divorce in 2022, after which he requested privacy and emphasized peaceful co-parenting. Last year, his ex-wife, Elsie, seemingly alluded to issues of infidelity within relationships, though without directly referencing their own situation.
