Nigerian music star Tuface Idibia has shared new details about his broken marriage to actress Annie Macaulay. He described their union as an experience that made him feel trapped.

Speaking on the +234 Mzansi Podcast, Tuface said, “I was living in bondage.” He also claimed there were people “ready to kill” him during the marriage. These strong words have sparked fresh reactions online. Many are now questioning why he is speaking out this way.

The podcast, hosted by Nedu, Acapella, and Kifilwe, has gone viral since the snippet was released. For fans, it was a rare glimpse into his private life, which often looked perfect in public.

Tuface and Annie got married in 2012. Their love story was always seen as a fairytale romance, and they have two daughters together. But over the years, rumours of cheating, heartbreak, and silent fights surrounded their marriage. In January 2025, they announced their separation in a public post.

Since their split, Annie has stayed quiet about what happened. Tuface, however, seems ready to share his side. He is now traditionally married to Natasha Osawuru of the Edo Assembly, which surprised many fans who thought he and Annie might get back together.

Despite what Tuface said, some fans feel he is only trying to shift attention away from the criticisms he faced in the past. Many believe calling the marriage “bondage” is unfair to Annie and their children. Still, others say he has a right to share his feelings, even if it changes the story people knew.

In his words, “I did not want to say anything before, but it was bondage. People were ready to kill me.” For some, this shows that even celebrities can feel trapped in relationships that look perfect from the outside.

Whether these statements are his way to heal or just another twist in their public story, one thing is clear: their breakup still brings out strong emotions, leaving fans wondering what really happened behind closed doors.
