Yvonne Jegede has addressed criticism over her appearance at an event with 2Baba and his wife, Natasha Osawaru, clarifying her relationship with 2Baba’s ex-wife, Annie Macaulay. She stated that she and Annie are not friends, noting that they only worked together on the “African Queen” video 21 years ago. Yvonne described being labeled a backstabber as unfair and stressed that bloggers are prioritizing clicks over the significance of her 20-year stage celebration, which highlights her philanthropic work. “There was never any reason for us to unfollow each other. I’ve never followed her before, and she has never followed me. Apart from the ‘African Queen’ video, I don’t think anybody has seen us together before. I walked into a studio, shot my part, and left. That was it. It’s been 21 years. I may have seen her two or three times in my entire life. I found it very disrespectful of bloggers to call me a backstabber and a disloyal friend,” she explained.

Annie Idibia and actress Yvonne Jegede have unfollowed each other on Instagram, a development that has sparked fresh rumours of a rift between the two. The move comes shortly after Yvonne hosted 2Baba and Natasha Osawaru at the event celebrating her 20th year in Nollywood — a gathering that drew attention across the industry. After the celebration, Yvonne shared a reflective message that many believe hinted at underlying tension. “I chose to respect people’s choices. I chose to see the good in people and, where necessary, give them my honest opinion in private. Show people love when they’re at their lowest, don’t throw the baby away with the bathing water. Two truths can co-exist. #YJreimagined” The pair, who first gained public attention as video vixens in 2Baba’s classic “African Queen” music video, have not addressed the unfollowing, but the development has already triggered conversations among fans about what might have gone wrong.
