I hate when people call me Tubaba’s wife – Annie Idibia

Actress Annie Idibia and wife of musician 2face idibia, has said she hates being referred to as just ‘Tubaba’s wife’ instead of own name. 

She made this known in an interview where she spoke about her career and marriage.

According to the actress she had taken a break from acting while she was pregnant and had to deal with the problem of people referring to her as just Tubaba’s wife.

She said she deserved to be respected as her own person as she had worked hard for her career and to build her own brand.

She said:

This year started for me quite tough. I spent the first three months of this year in the hospital with my father because he had been sick for a while but God has been great and I am grateful. I am actually closer to my mother than my father because she raised us single-handedly. My father is still my father and since he was sick we had to rally round him.

Growing up with only my mother really affected my life and I suffered and I do not ever want my children to face the agony of not having both parents together because it was so hard for us. Even right now, the way the world is, children are more enlightened than we were in our days, so the pressure would be harder on the kids from broken homes right now. I do not want my children to ever experience that.”

Concerning her career and how she would love to be addressed:

I took a break from my career because after I got married, I got pregnant so I had a baby and had to get used to the new life. I think I did not do any movie for about three years. Being addressed as Tubaba’s wife instead of Annie the actress has been a problem that I have been trying to work on for a long time.

“I want to believe that I have successfully been able to identify and differentiate my brand as Annie Idibia the actress/career woman and Annie Idibia the wife/mother. I prefer being addressed as Annie and not Tubaba’s wife. I hate this because I am my own person and have worked hard to build my career and brand. I should be identified and respected on that basis.”
