Nollywood star Annie Idibia has broken her silence following social media backlash over her reaction to a controversial post targeting her colleague, Regina Daniels, amid the actress’s ongoing marital dispute with husband and politician, Senator Ned Nwoko.
The controversy erupted after Ned Nwoko’s Moroccan wife, Laila Charani, took to Instagram on Tuesday, November 12, to make a series of explosive claims about her past relationship with Regina Daniels and her marriage to the senator.
In her post, Laila alleged that she “almost lost her marriage” to Nwoko six years ago because Regina allegedly introduced her to drugs. She was reacting to Regina’s earlier claim that she had financially assisted her.
Refuting that claim, Laila countered that she never received any money from Regina Daniels. Instead, she challenged the actress to publicly share their account statements so Nigerians could “see who is truly sending money to whom.”
The Moroccan beauty further claimed that Regina’s alleged fallout with their husband stemmed from his insistence that she quit drugs and alcohol, insisting that Nwoko has always made it clear that he would never tolerate any wife who drinks, smokes, or uses drugs.
“Ned has always been against such habits,” Laila stated. “He will never accept a wife who drinks, smokes, or does drugs.”
However, social media users were quick to notice that Annie Idibia, wife of Nigerian music legend 2Baba, had liked Laila’s post — a move that many fans interpreted as taking sides against Regina.
The gesture sparked widespread criticism online, with Regina’s supporters calling Annie out for what they saw as an act of betrayal, especially since Regina had publicly supported Annie during her own marital challenges.
Annie Sets the Record Straight
Responding to the backlash, Annie Idibia took to her Instagram Story to clear the air, explaining that she “mistakenly liked” the post while scrolling through the comments.
“In the process of reading the rubbish that was alleged about my baby, Regina, I liked the post mistakenly,” Annie wrote. “Over here, we don’t play with loyalty. My baby knows I’ve got her back — front and side. Make una rest abeg.”
The actress reaffirmed her unwavering loyalty to Regina Daniels, emphasizing that their friendship remains intact despite the online drama.
