2Baba is not just a successful Nigerian artist but also among celebrities that long joined the baby mama trend.

2Baba Has Three Baby Mamas, Meet Them
Since its already well known that 2Baba’s seven children came from three different women, let’s see who they are below:
Sumbo Adeoye, nee Ajaba
Adesumbo Ajaba was the very first woman that gave 2Baba a child. She prefers to keep a low profile after her affair with the music icon, given that she is now happily married to pastor David Olatunde Adeoye, a General Overseer of Roy Christian Center Lagos, and they together have two children.
Sumbo moved on with her life when it became glaring to her that the singer was not ready to marry her. Meanwhile, Sumbo and 2Baba met while she was an undergraduate at Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH). She became pregnant for him but pinned it to another man who made the man get married to her.
At the baby’s arrival, the child was simply 2Baba’s carbon copy, which immediately led to the crash of the marriage. Sumbo had to return to 2baba’s house, and they started living together. During that time, she gave birth to their second son Zion, but his birth saw the end of their relationship.
Their relationship ended in 2009 after she learned that the music maker had impregnated another woman, Pero. Since then, she has kept a very low profile about her connection with the singer but focuses more on her family with the Lagos pastor.
Pero Adeniyi
Pero Adeniyi is the daughter of Chief Jide Adeniyi, a billionaire businessman and CEO of Poatson Group of Companies. Her father is said to be the first man to own a musical jamboree business in the country. Reports say that Pero was married to a New York-based businessman before she met and fell in love with 2face Idibia.
She abandoned her then-husband and started dating the singer, who, after all, resulted in three children. Pero’s relationship with 2face, which lasted for all seven years, was best described as tumultuous due to the singer’s involvement with other women. Finally, their relationship ended after 2Baba decided to take Annie as his lawfully wedded wife.
But till today, Pero seems to be the one who has a hold on 2face, which had consistently caused brouhaha between the two women. Annie has a problem with 2Baba visiting the children he had with Pero. She once indirectly called Pero out when she made a suggestive post on social media about women who use their children against their fathers.
However, the two women who were always at war with public exhibitions of beef seemingly reconciled in 2018 at an event held at Crescendo Lounge, Ikeja Lagos. Pero has since moved on with her life, living in the US with her three children.
2Baba Finally Married His Third Baby Mama, Annie Macauley
Annie’s involvement with the Afropop singer first became public knowledge in 2004 when he featured her in his hit song African Queen. Going by reports, however, the couple had known themselves far before the singer became popular. But their relationship was going off and on and off again all through the time the two other baby mamas were in the picture.
The two would later begin a romantic relationship, and in 2008, Annie bore him a daughter Isabella. For the reasons best known to him, even though there are three baby mamas standing, 2Baba decided to legally marry Annie Macauley. On 14th February 2012, he popped the big question at Jay Jay Okocha‘s now-defunct club 10, Victoria Island Lagos.
On 23rd March 2013, they got married in a star-studded wedding ceremony in Dubai. The wedding had in attendance many celebrities from Nigeria and Ghana who came to witness the two long-term lovers finally say I do to each other. The couple has since been holding it up on the home front regardless of challenges that occasionally come between them, especially baby mama issues.
For Annie, marrying a man who has kids from other women is not easy, but she tries to maintain a good relationship between her children and their half-siblings.
