I'm not Bothered by TuFace's Infidelity

Since that stunning lover-girl role
she played in 2face ’s African
Queen video, Annie Macaulay
caught the attention of the
entertainment industry.
Everyone
wanted to
know who the
damsel on the
power bike
with 2Face
was, especially
when reports
hit the streets
that these two
were actually
dating. But
later events
was to change
a lot of things as two other
separate women came into the
picture. And before Annie could
say 2, both ladies were totting
2face ’s babies almost shutting the
door in Annie’s face.
Today, Annie is the mother of
Isabella, a two year old -daughter
she had for 2Face.
Last weekend, she was one of the
guests at a 2Face tribute event
tagged “Touch of a Genius held in
honour of the ‘Enter the place
crooner’, held in Lekki, Lagos.
Showtime celebrity was able to
engage her, where she talks about
her career and relationship with
Tuface Idibia.
Excerpts
This is a tribute to 2Face, how do
you see the event?
It’s really wonderful. We didn’t
expect it to eventually turn out
this way but it has been one
tremendous night. It ’s really
wonderful. You need to see his
face, he ’s all smiles, and giggling;
he is dancing, so happy and it’s
been such a beautiful night. He’s
so happy and I feel so wonderful
to be a part of this.
Tell us how it has been for you
with 2Face?
I want to make one fact clear.
2Face has got his own life to live
while I ’ve got mine to live too.
That’s exactly my position,
regardless of what people might
be saying about us. I ’m going to
concentrate on looking after
myself and my daughter in spite
of what is going on between me
and him. It ’s that simple.
How would you describe your
relationship with 2face?
We are still very close to each
other. As you can see, I
accompanied him to this event
and we are sitting together. That
tells you, we are still inseparable.
After all, he is still the father of my
daughter so what else do you
expect to hear from me. But then
again, I repeat we both have our
own independent lives to live. He
does what he wants to do with his
life, while I ’ll do what I want to do
with my own life.
Pardon me, but you still appear to
be bitter; possibly angry at him. Is
it because you feel he betrayed
you?
Why will I think that way. Like I
said earlier, he has got his life to
live as well as I have got mine to
live. He is free to do whatever he
wants to do with his life. If I have
not forgiven 2Face of the wrongs I
feel he had done to me in the past,
perhaps, I wouldn ’t have been
here to support him tonight.
Annie-and-daugther-Isabella
I realised I mustn’t think of myself
alone but my daughter as well.
What happened is between I and
her father. She shouldn ’t be
allowed to suffer for it and please I
don ’t want to talk about this any
further.
But people…?
Please no more. Please.
How close is he to your daughter?
(Her face brightens again) Oh!
They are virtually inseparable. He
is very close to her. She just had to
here on this special night with
him, and that ’s partly why I’m
here too. They are as close as any
father and daughter could be. And
they will remain so for a very long
time to come, I assure you.
Again, how are you finding things,
knowing fully well that you will
always be linked to 2Face and the
media will forever be at your
heels?
Yes, it’s hard. But I’m a strong
woman and I will continue to be
there for my daughter. I really
don ’t care what is being said or
written about me or my
relationship with 2 Face anymore.
I tell you I don ’t care. I will
continue to stay strong. He has his
own life to live and I have mine. I
have things that I am doing and I
thank God for that. I have my
hands full right now I don ’t have
time to think about anything else.
What are these things you are
actually busy with?
I’m acting, I have my own
Television show and I’m also into
private businesses. So, I have my
hands pretty filled with activities.
Are you currently on any location?
I’ve been on set for days now, and
I’m actually coming from location.
I’m starring in two movies at the
same time, so, I’m pretty busy. I
just had to be here to support
2Face.
Where are you shooting?
In Lagos. Somewhere in Festac
and Okota.
What are the movie titles?
I can’t say for now. But you should
know the way our movies
producers are. You never know
the title until it ’s out. But then, I
have a couple of my featured
movies already out in the market.
It ’s a handful and they are doing
pretty well in the market.
Do you plan to sing too?
No. I’m not going into singing. I
have my TV show and I also have
another project in the pipeline. It ’s
like a reality TV show. My
daughter is going to be involved
in it too. So, my hands are filled up
and that is why I tell you I cannot
be bothered by what is going on
around me, or what people are
saying or not saying about me or
anybody else.
