The proposal was the perfect love story and everyone in the industry congratulated 2face and Annie on their engagement.
To get a proper understanding about the proposal we have to go back to the late 90’s when 2face was a lanky member of the R&B group Plantashun Boyz. Annie and 2face’s first met at Even Ezra studios. She was 15 and 2face was 24.
“The moment our eyes met at Even Ezra Studios many years ago, I knew you were the one for me and I for you. Innocent is an extraordinary being. It really seems like yesterday, (can’t believe he is 40 already) he was 24 and I was 15. And I still see the same man when I look at him. So full of life. So much energy. He is always so optimistic about life” revealed Annie Idibia in ‘’, a 2face Idibia biography.
“I remember many evenings he would walk me from 201 in FESTAC to the major road outside FESTAC, the road was so wide and scary to cross that he would have to hold my hands and we would run across the road together! Once I got in the bus going to CMS he would wait till it was full and wave at me till the bus was out of his sight” she further said.

After the release of his debut album ‘’ in the same year 2 face’s solo career catapulted to unparalleled heights. With a new brand of fame 2face and Annie’s relationship became shaky.
