Annie Idibia Reacts To Backlash After Congratulating Baba Ijesha On New Baby

Nollywood Actress Annie Idibia has reacted after facing criticism online over a comment she left on a social media post announcing the birth of a child by celebrity designer Luminee and actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, better known as Baba Ijesha.

Naija News reports that the controversy started on Monday after news emerged that Luminee and Baba Ijesha had welcomed a baby together.

Among those who reacted to the post was Annie, who simply left a heart emoji as a congratulatory gesture.

However, her comment soon became a topic of debate, with some users attacking her for showing support on the post.

Many social media users criticized Annie for congratulating the couple, pointing to Baba Ijesha’s past conviction in a child sexual assault case.

In a response shared online, Annie expressed surprise over the backlash and said she was confused by the criticism directed at her.

According to the actress, she had no knowledge of any issues involving the couple and only reacted to the post because she knew Luminee professionally.

She explained that the designer had made a dress for her a few months ago and that was the extent of their connection.

Annie said she came across the post announcing the birth of the baby on her timeline and reacted with a heart emoji to congratulate the new mother.

The actress maintained that she was unaware of any personal matters connected to Luminee or her relationship with Baba Ijesha.

She wrote: “What’s going on? Please, guys, I do not understand. The lady made a nice dress for me a few months ago. I honestly don’t know what’s going on, guys. Saw her post on my TL about just having a baby and dropped a heart as congrats! Am I missing something?

“What did I do wrong? Cos, I’m genuinely lost o. Why the plenty insults guys? I honestly don’t know anything at all about her personal life, beyond the fact that she made the pretty dress I wore to AFRIMA. Pls can someone enlighten me? Cos I truly do not know or have any idea what’s up!”
