Annie Macaulay Breaks Silence Over Backlash For Congratulating Baba Ijesha’s Wife

Actress Annie Macaulay has defended herself after facing public criticism for congratulating fashion designer Abiodun Folashade Tokunbo, popularly known as CEO Luminee, who recently welcomed a child with convicted sex offender Baba Ijesha.

Baba Ijesha, real name Olanrewaju James Omiyinka, was released from prison after serving time for sexually abusing a minor.

His marriage to Luminee and the birth of their child sparked widespread outrage, with many questioning the designer’s judgment given that she is already a mother to a young daughter from a previous relationship.

Annie, the former wife of singer Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, came under fire after posting a congratulatory message for Luminee. Critics were quick to remind the actress, a mother of two daughters, of Baba Ijesha’s criminal history.

The actress has since clarified that her message was based solely on a prior professional relationship with the designer, as Luminee designed an outfit for her some months ago.
She stated that she was unaware of the controversy surrounding the birth announcement.
