Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay had a memorable moment at the 2025 Headies Awards that caught everyone’s attention.

While introducing herself on stage, Annie almost slipped up and said her former last name, Idibia, from her marriage to music legend 2Baba (formerly Tuface Idibia). However, she quickly caught herself mid-sentence and proudly corrected it, introducing herself by her maiden name, Macaulay.

The audience immediately picked up on the subtle change and erupted in cheers, showing their support. With a beaming smile, Annie playfully shouted, “Hey my single ladies!” signaling that she is fully embracing her new chapter.

While some fans believe the slip was intentional, a statement of confidence and independence, others speculate that it was simply a slip of the tongue and a sign she’s still adjusting to her current reality. Either way, the moment was powerful, and the crowd was clearly behind her.
