Nollywood actress Annie Idibia has spoken up about how she wants to be seen following her split from music legend Innocent Idibia (2Baba).

In a brief message shared on her Instagram story, Annie rejected the label “single mom,” choosing instead to describe herself as “a single woman raising two kids.”

The statement quickly caught attention online, with many Nigerians weighing in on her choice of words. Some applauded her for taking control of her identity and not allowing motherhood to define her entire existence. Others questioned whether there was any real difference between the two expressions.

Despite the divided opinions, several supporters defended her right to speak for herself, saying every woman deserves to choose how her life story is told.
