Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay created a subtle but unforgettable moment at the 2025 Headies Awards that immediately set social media on fire.
While introducing herself on stage, Annie nearly slipped, almost saying her former married name “Idibia,” famously tied to her relationship with music legend 2Baba (formerly Tuface Idibia). Catching herself just in time, she stopped midway and proudly reintroduced herself using only her maiden name, “Macaulay.”
The crowd instantly caught the emotional nuance of the moment and erupted in loud cheers. Flashing a playful smile, Annie embraced the energy and shouted, “Hey, my single ladies!” — a bold, confident nod to her new chapter in life.
The internet has since been buzzing with interpretations. Some fans believe Annie’s move was intentional, a powerful way to show she’s thriving post-breakup. Others speculate it was an honest slip, suggesting she’s still adjusting to her new reality.
Either way, Annie’s grace and confidence on that stage turned what could have been an awkward moment into a viral, empowering highlight of the night.
