TUFACE IDIBIA IS A CHANGED MAN

True story o. People who saw the singer at a club recently were surprised at how he kept ignoring babes who were trying to get his attention. And I hear a few babes tried. This is very much unlike Tuface. According to people who were observing him, other than being polite to the ladies who kept hitting on him, he very much kept to himself. He stuck with the group he came with to the club and left with them. They say he has kinda changed since getting engaged to his girlfriend of twelve years, Annie Macaulay. Good for Annie!

2FACE IDIBIA OPENS MULTI-MILLION BOUTIQUE FOR FIANCEE,ANNIE MACAULAY + ENGAGEMENT RING COSTS N4.5 MILLION


In what some have dubbed the triumph of love, Annie Macaulay was filled with tears of joy on Tuesday night in Lagos when Innocent Idibia popularly known as Tuface finally proposed to her.

It was a fitting climax for an unsteady romance between the rising Nollywood actress cum model and her R&B super star lover who has been with her for over 13 years.

Innocent Idibia chose the romantic night of Valentine’s Day (February 14) to pop the million dollar question at posh Victoria Island-based hangout, Club 10, owned by Ex-Super Eagles captain, JayJay Okocha.

At the event which was witnessed by a small crowd that included a few friends as well as other revellers, the musician presented a specially made ring which it was learnt cost N4.5 million Naira to his lover.

The loverbirds have since made their engagement public with their pictures littering the social media.

2face has already started introducing Annie afresh as,”Meet my wife,the woman of my dreams”.

And from what we were told,they would likely tie the knot this year.

Further findings revealed that 2face has surprised Annie with a multi-million naira boutique stocked with all you can think of in Ikota Shopping Complex.

According to source,2face sent Annie shopping to America in December and when she came back he surprised her with the keys of the boutique and told her he was proud of her.

They have named the boutique,Forever Young and plan on opening it In March.

According to a new and yet unconfirmed report,circulating round the blogsville says the talented musician has branched out an olive leaf to his two baby mamas, Pero Adeniyi and Sumbo Ajaba, who lost out in the battle for his soul.

The report says he has offered each of the two women a sum of N10 million, a house in a choice area, and a car of their choice.

According to the report, Tuface who is currently recording his next album in LA, is making the moves quietly through a confidant to avoid the media from feasting on it.

More on this later.

MESSY LOVE LIFE OF 2FACE IDIBIA + HOW HE TURN OVER A NEW LEAF

 
2face is arguably one of the best singers in Africa and at the same time,the most controversial artist,especially when it has to do with women.

Over the years, 2face,who is a self-confessed womaniser has been linked romantically with many ladies,among them were Nollywood actress,Caroline Ekanem-Danjuma, Nkechi Okoli and ex-Miss Nigeria,Vien Tetsola.

2face was recently reported to be in a romance with Dr.Ojia Ademolekun,an Abuja based medical practitioner and Annie’s best friend.

Dr. Orjia was also rumoured to be Timi Dakolo’s ex-girlfriend. 2face was also said to be in a guarded romance with Queen Ure, the estranged lover of Soul E.

But three women have remained a constant feature throughout the career of the Benue State-born crooner.
Annie Macaulay

Since that stunning lover-girl role she played in 2face’s African Queen video, Annie Macaulay caught the attention of the entertainment industry.

Everyone wanted to know who the damsel on the power bike with 2Face was, especially when reports hit the streets that these two were actually dating. But later events was to change a lot of things as two other separate women (Pero Adeniyi and Sumbo Ajaba)came into the picture. And before Annie could say 2, both ladies were totting 2face’s babies almost shutting the door in Annie’s face.
Pero Adeniyi

Pero’s relationship with 2face dates back to 2005,shortly after the singer parted ways with Annie Macauley.

According to reports, after being attacked by robbers in his Festac home, Idibia was injured and traumatised.

While on admission at the hospital, ladies trooped in to visit and wish him well.Pero was said to be one of the lot and a relationship kicked off almost immediately.

The romance shifted from Pero to a banker,Sumbo Ajaba,after irreconciliable differences between them.Not quite long after a sizzling romance with Sumbo,2face left her in a dramatic way and since became a single father to his five children from the three mistresses.

2face had earlier said in an interview he granted months back that he has moved on and no longer had any sexual relationship with his three mistresses since he was not legally married to them.

But it came as a surprise to many when news broke some weeks back that 2face is expecting his sixth child from Pero, the mother to two of his children. The big question on everybody's lips then was how come,considering the fact that Tu Face had allegedly told friends that his relationship with Pero has no future for both of them, a story Pero also corroborated in an interview she granted a soft sell magazine.

But findings revealed that 2face and Pero have been meeting secretly.An example of such secret meeting was in July,2011 at the BET Award in the US where 2face went to receive an award jointly won with D’Banj.The crooner was said to have preferred to stay at Pero’s apartment in the States instead of being lodged in a hotel.Their meeting was believed to have resulted to the pregnancy.

With this development, many thought Pero has fought her way back to 2face’s life but their hopes were dashed when2face took the bull by the horns and proposed to his long-term girlfriend and mother of one of his children (daughter – Isabella), Annie Macaulay at Jay Jay Okocha’s Club 10 in Victoria Island, Lagos on Valentine’s day.

Expectedly, the incident has elicited mixed reactions from fans and critics, on Facebook and Twitter – and elsewhere.

Many criticized his actions saying the proposal to another woman at a club was insensitive when he had another woman pregnant with his third child.But the serial womanizer and music star remains unperturbed with people's opinions..

In post on his facebbok page,2face wrote; I know say my people wan hear the CONFIRM gist !!! Unto say me sef wan move to the next level.We all know that he who finds a wife has found a good thing.

I am moving forward ma people… I wanna be with Annie for the rest of my life.Abi how una take see am ?

We gathered that the reason he took the bold step was because pressure had been piled on him by his mother since news broke few weeks ago that he was expecting a sixth child from mistress,Pero , to find a wife and settle down.

With his latest move, insiders close to the music sensation revealed that the fates of his two mistresses, Pero Adeniyi and Sumbo Ajaba who both have between them four kids for him, has been sealed.

In a related news,findings revealed that the talented musician left the shores of Nigeria for the United States on Wednesday night in a manner that was shrouded in mystery.

Close source are insinuating that Tuface jets to US to be at the side of his expectant baby mama, Pero Adeniyi, who is due to deliver the musician’s third child any moment from now.

But 2face’s publicist, Bayo Omisore, denied the claim,he said; is gone to America to finish the recording of his new album

2FACE OPENS UP ON HIS RATHER COMPLICATED LOVE LIFE + POCKET OVER A MILLION DOLLAR FOR HIS ENDORSEMENT DEAL WITH AIRTEL

Celebrated African pop singer 2face Idibia is arguably one of the most popular artistes on the African music scene. 2baba came into African limelight when he released his hit song, African Queen and ever since then, he has been a sought after musician.

Tuface is unmarried with 5 children from different women, ranging from Sunmbo Ajaba (two boys) to Pero Adeniyi (a boy and a girl) and Annie Macaulay (a girl).

In a recent interview with EE, 2face opened up on his rather complicated love life.

"I didn't get this from my father. My father is not a womaniser. That I know. I have never caught my father with another woman. He is very faithful to my mother. I am also not a womanizer. Yes it happens that I have more women in my life. It is the price I have to pay for being a star. I didn't plan to have more than one woman in my life. I didn't plan my life to be the way it is now but no regrets. I love my kids. Right now, I have three women in my life who have five kids for me (and expecting a 6th one) and I sincerely don't know how I'm able to cope with three women. Fela had over two dozen wives but I'm not Fela. I can never be another Fela. I have three women but I'm saying a big NO to Fela's kind of polygamy. I don't even know what these women see me (Oh yeah, Tuface? lol). I used to look into the mirror sometimes and wonder it is that they see in me."

In a related news,we gathered that the talented musician was paid over a million dollar for his endorsement deal with Airtel,one of the three top communications companies in Nigeria.

PERO ADENIYI PREGNANT WITH 2FACE IDIBIA's 6TH CHILD!

Baby number six is on the way for pop icon 2face Idibia.

NET sources say Idibia’s long-time girlfriend and mother of two of his five children Pero Adeniyi is heavily pregnant and according to his publicist Bayo Omisore, she will put to bed in March 2012.

‘Yes it’s true, she is pregnant. A statement has already been released’, Publicist, Bayo Omisore told NET. The statement was not immediately available to us.

Inside sources say Ms Adeniyi is seven months gone already, and she had stayed away from public events, careful not to let the cat out of the bag until she gives birth.

The daughter off POATSON boss Jide Adeniyi, who was married to Tunde Borokini (they have since been divorced), already has two children for Idibia – Rose and Justin. Idibia also has kids from Sunmbo Ajaba (2) and Annie Macauley (1)

‘Children are a gift from God and I’m glad to have this bundle of joy’, 2face was quoted as saying.

If you recall, six months ago, 2face had travelled to the US to attend the BET Awards where he won the award for ‘Best International Act for Africa’ alongside pop singer D’banj. Pero, we learn was also in the US at that time. ‘They see often when he’s in America; he even stays in her crib sometimes‘ an insider told us today.

2face is currently in Nigeria, writing and recording songs for a forthcoming release, his publicist tells NET.

Idibia’s relationship with Ms Adeniyi, rocky at best, is as interesting, as it is fascinating, with those close to them saying it’s a huge surprise they’re still making babies together ‘after all the fights’.

2FACE's MANAGER ROBBED AT GUN POINT

Efe Omorogbe, Now Muzik boss and manager to African pop act 2face Idibia was recently robbed of his car – a BMW X3 SUV (Grey BMW X3. Reg number: KR 526 EKY. Engine no: WBXPA73464WC36602

Chasis no: (same as engine number) and other valuables by gunmen on Monday night, December 5, 2011.

Omorogbe, a veteran writer and talent manager says he was driving back home along Ota road, when a vehicle overtook his and in a sudden twist another vehicle parked very close beside him and then, about eight men alighted from both vehicles and commanded him to come out  from his car.

‘I immediately came out of my car and was asked to get into the back seat. Four men got in with me’, Omorogbe told Nigerian Entertainment Today in a telephone conversation.

He was then commanded to stay face down so as not to see where they (the robbers) were driving to. ‘They asked me to tell them where the security key in the car was but I told them there wasn’t one. They didn’t believe me at first and hit me several times. They even threatened to kill me if the car stopped abruptly’, Omorogbe narrated.

After driving for about 20 minutes, they finally let him out not before stripping him of his shirt, trousers, wristwatch, wedding ring and shoes and then asked him to run into the bushes.

He came out several minutes later and saw a thousand Naira on the floor (Efe strongly suggests the robbers must have dropped it for him), walked to a nearby residence where he met someone who gave him clothes to wear and drove him to the police station near Ota Farms.

‘My wife drove down there and picked me up. They stole everything; my laptop, iPad, wallet, reading glasses, internet modem’, says Omorogbe .

‘I’m happy I’m alive’, Omorogbe says about the incidence. And when asked if it had been a deliberate robbery attempt on him, he responded by saying ‘No, I don’t think so, it could have been anybody’.

ASABA GIRLS HOLD 2FACE IDIBIA HOSTAGE AFTER SHOW

Asaba girls, who thronged to watch a show by stand-up comedian, AY, live at the Grand Hotel, Asaba, the Delta State capital, on Saturday held music star, Tuface Idibia, hostage when they openly struggled over whom to embrace him.

It took furious work by security agents who were on hand to rescue him from the riotous girls.

TN observed that the much awaited AY live show in Asaba left thousands of its residents rolling over with laughter, including the state governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, with the ladies adding their own twist to the general fun.

An eyewitness said that amidst standing ovation, Tuface had come on stage and he was accompanied with loud shouts from the Asaba female admirers who called him the ‘greatest’.

But it was when he tried to leave the stage that the whole hullabaloo started. The girls were said to have herded him into a tight corner with several of them rushing to embrace him, but security agents had to fight them off and shepherd the music star to safety.

Confirming the story, Tuface said the girls obviously admired him and his work, adding that all of them said they would marry him. He, however, gave God the glory for giving him the inspiration and love from his admirers....

Guess its a very hard hustle out there, call it survival of the fittest, they all want to marry 2face

E.X.P.O.S.E.D: ANOTHER AWAITING BABYMAMA FOR 2FACE IDIBIA

Having kids with different women definitely affected me. But all in all, people will talk, others will criticize, while some will rejoice at their fellow man's misfortune because that's how human beings are. But I was really affected. Would I have been bigger is if it hadn't happened? That I don't know. Maybe all those things happened to prevent me from doing something worse. Polygamy was never part of my plan. Everybody has their plans and mine was never to be polygamous. But I would have done the same thing again, which is to accept the children. I love mychildren" .

These are the words of Innocent Ujah Idibia popularly known as 2face. Everyone thought he had finally learnt his lesson, albeit the hard way from his experiences with women but the reverse is the case.

The African Queen crooner is in the news again as we gathered he’s involved in a guarded romance with Queen Ure, the estranged wife of fellow musician, Emmanuel Okosie also known as Soul E.

Though it is not clear when it started- the guarded romance is said to have been on for a while.

Informants divulged that 2face infrequent visits to the Omole, Lagos abode of Ure is listed as one of the cover for the low profile romance.

According to a source 2face is just having casual fun, though the lady prefers something more serious.

Informants are of the opinion that the chances of 'something serious' coming to play in the shrouded romance is almost absolutely nil, except of course the irregular phenomenon of 'unexpected' factor in such affairs come into play and change the shape of things.

The allure of fame and means of trying to make head way in the entertainment industry, that resulted in her short lived marriage to Soul E are said to be some of the ingredients that sparked off the affair between 2face and Ure.

In a recent chat with a celebrity blog, Queen Ure, was quoted: " I have always been in love with Tuface; this, I can’t deny. I love him and I am crazy about him,”

Asked if she intended to have a baby for him, she replied: “I think that’s too early for now. But, the fact remains that I love him.”

“The notion that my affairs are motivated by a desire to be famous are very wrong perceptions. On the contrary, I think I’m quite the opposite.

“I would have long gotten into music myself, if I wanted fame because I’m good at it. I do not have any hidden agenda. My saying I love Tuface is because I do. That’s all there is to it. Who will choose to be controversial? I wouldn’t,” she added.

Model cum actress, Yvonne Jegede who is currently schooling in Cyprus after her diploma in Law from Lagos State University, has found love again.

The model who has featured in 2faze’s hit song African queen and other popular home videos is scoop to be seriously in love with a London big boy simply called Tom.

Yvonne, who admitted to have been thrice heartbroken in one of her interviews, reliable source squealed that she occasionally spend her holidays with the dude.

We gathered that the relationship might be an altar bound.

Blaze of Glory, Missing Angel and Tade Ogidan’s Behind the Siege are some of the popular flick which claimed her to fame before she went on sabbatical a couple of years ago.

2FACE RESCUES INJURED POLICEMAN

2face Idibia is in the news again but this time around he isn’t receiving any awards or featuring on international talk shows or headlining any event. The singer who is credited to singing one of the biggest songs to come out of Africa ‘African Queen’ recently played the role of a ‘Good Samaritan’ as he reportedly saved the life of a Police Officer who had been shot.

The story goes that 2face and a close friend, event manager Matthew Ohio at about 3AM left the Nu-Grotto located at 217 Etim Inyang Crescent, Victoria Island and were heading to the Southern Sun Hotel in Ikoyi, driving in the singer’s Ranger Rover Sport through Muri Okunola Street when they came across a man lying down by the roadside.

Ohio who was driving says the pair decided to stop and find out what was wrong with the man. Upon getting closer, they discovered it was a police man and that he had been shot three times by – once in the hand, in the stomach and in the leg. ‘He kept saying we should help him, he looked like he was in a lot of pain’, Ohio who is executive producer of Industry Nite, the weekly event held at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos told Nigerian Entertainment Today in a telephone conversation.

It is believed that the policeman who identified himself as Corporal Ganiu had been shot just five minutes before Idibia and Ohio drove by. Ohio tells us that they had been alerted by security guards at Nu-Grotto but they ignored the warnings.

2face and Matthew then carried the bleeding policeman into the back seat of their vehicle and rushed him to the Reddington Hospital located at 12 Idowu Martins Street, Victoria Island (next to Mega Plaza) to receive treatment. The hospital staff were said to have been hesitant to attend to the victim until they recognized 2face who served as a guarantor to the officer. It can be recalled that 2face had also been rushed to the same hospital back in October 2007 when he was shot by robbers. ‘I have a card here too o’, 2face was said to have told the hospital staff.

‘The story is quite true’, says Don T, exec at 2face’s management Now Muzik. ‘2face took him to Reddington which is his official hospital’. However, Don T could not confirm as at the time of this report if 2face settled the medical bills even though ‘it’s quite possible he did’.

We’re told Corporal Ganiu has been transferred to the Military Hospital, Awolowo Rd, Ikoyi to receive further treatment and his health condition is said to be stable.

2face is sure not new to robbery attacks and hospitals as he has also had his fair share of horrific episodes. On January 12, 2005, he was attacked by unsuspected robbers at his residence in Festac Town, Lagos and in October 2007, he was also robbed and shot while returning home from the Muritala Mohammed International airport after attending the MOBO awards in London, where he was named best African act.

"I REALIZED I'D BEEN SHOT"-TUFACE IDIBIA

The difference between life and death is so slim.One minute you are gone.In Nigeria,life can be so cheap. Before you  know it,someone is aiming his gun at you and asking you surrender everything on you.At times,he doesn’t even give you enough time to comply.In one moment of madness,he pulls the trigger and the bullet hits you gboooa! I have been shot and I don’t like talking about it.It was just like a flash.

This guy comes to the car,he tries to open the car but the door is locked,and before we could even realize what is going on, the guy brought out his gun and just shot: He shot the glass and I was sitting on the passenger side on the front seat. So the bullet caught me on my left thigh.Just like that.

I didn’t even know the bullet was in me already.I thought it was a shattered glass that touched my leg, I didn’t know it was a bullet. It was when I opened the door and I started running that I started feeling pains in my leg.And then I touched my leg and I saw pure blood.

That was when I realized I was shot. In the heat of the moment, that adrenalin was pumping and you weren’t feeling anything at that time. I just came from London that evening. So I was just coming from the airport and going home.

I was stopped actually.I met a small traffic jam at Cele Bus Stop on the way to Festac. So we were just slowing down when the guy just came out.Then he tried to open the door but the door was locked.I don’t know whether the guy knew me. I don’t think so.I think it was one of these normal robberies in a hold up.

He just said:” Open the door! Open the door!” We were looking him with shock,then the next thing he pulled out a gun and shot.All these happened within 10 seconds.Some of the pellets cut my friend’s hand. In the confusion,everybody took off on hearing the gunshot.Some people even came out of their cars and fled forsafety. Luckily, we quickly stopped a bus and the guy was nice enough to stop.I guess because of the commotion, the robbers too panicked and fled.

I was first taken to Cedar hospital in Festac where they gave me first aid treatment.And then,Reddington ambulance came and took me from there. Gunshot is like having a hot substance inside your body.It peppers.I was just thanking God.I imagined what could have happened if I had been shot in the face or in the chest.This happened in 2007.

Earlier,on January 2004,I had been attacked by armed robbers.It was another close shave.They had to break the wall to enter my house. They beat the hell out of me that day. They were beating me and asking “Where is the master of this house?” I told them:” My master had travelled”.They didn’t know I was the master of the house.They were just hitting me with a stick.They almost broke my neck.At the hospital,I was made to wear a neck brace for over a month.

They took away my money,jewelry and some other stuff. All these experiences have taught me that life is so precious,yet precarious.Anything can happen in any second.So, make the most of your time.It was by the grace of God that I survived that gunshot.What if his hand had gone a bit higher to hit my head or my chest? It would have been a different story.

It’s so sad that we live in a country where there is insecurity. In Nigeria,a trailer would park where it is not supposed to park and you just run into it and it’s all over. That was what happened to the rapper Dagrin. These are the words of Innocent Ujah Idibia popularly known as 2face, narrating his ordeal in the hands of armed robbers. He also laments on the seemingly rising insecurity in the country.

Tuface Idibia didn't give any engagement ring to any woman

I was asked to pass a message o...so don't shoot the messager. Contrary to popular reports, Tuface didn't give any ring, diamond or otherwise, to any woman...dead or alive...(that's how I was asked to write it..:-)). Tuface is not engaged to anyone and has no such plans at the moment. He continues to be a great dad and that's enough for him.

'They' also said - any tweet, fb message, bb broadcast, from any woman claiming to be engaged to the music star should be disregarded. When Tuface gets engaged, he will make the announcement himself. - But don't hold your breath.
