    As reposted by InstagramPulse, a fresh photo showing Annie Idibia, 2Baba (Tuface) and comedian Nasboi together has reignited online speculation about the couple’s relationship status.

    Fans treated the image like a statement, projecting narratives ranging from reconciliation to PR optics—without any official clarification from the couple.

    The timing matters: Detty December events generate endless backstage photos, and the internet turns them into storylines within minutes.

    Eelive (Entertainment outlet) also echoed the same development, noting: “Annie Idibia Hangs Out With 2Baba After Breakup Rumours” (https://eelive.ng/). InstagramPulse (Instagram) also echoed the same development, noting: “Annie Idibia, 2Baba and Nasboi spotted together” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DSmWPQEtGl-/).

    Echotitbits take: Photos aren’t confirmations. Until Annie or 2Baba speaks directly, treat this as social buzz rather than proof of reconciliation or breakup outcomes. What to watch next: whether either party posts the same moment on their own verified pages and how they frame it.

    Vanguard reports CAF has confirmed Afrobeats star Davido will perform at the AFCON 2025 opening concert in Rabat, alongside an international lineup including French Montana and Moroccan acts.

    The concert is positioned as a major pre-tournament spectacle, tying entertainment directly into AFCON’s build-up and fan programming.

    Verification: CAF’s official announcement describes a “major musical spectacle,” and TVC News also reported the headline lineup for the kickoff concert.

    Quotes: CAF: “Morocco will open… with a major musical spectacle…” TVC News: “Davido… announced to headline the opening concert…”

    Analysis/Echotitbits take: This is soft power in motion—Nigeria’s pop culture remains a continental magnet. Watch brand activations, tourism-linked business opportunities, and whether CAF sustains the festival model for future tournaments.

    According to TheCable Lifestyle, the city of Newark, New Jersey, declared December 12 as ‘Burna Boy Day’ in recognition of the artist’s cultural impact and global reach.

    The proclamation was presented in the glow of a major tour stop, adding another headline milestone to Afrobeats’ U.S. arena era.

    Online, fans treated the honour as a symbol of how far the genre has travelled—from local hits to municipal recognition abroad.

    • The Nation (Threads): “…present a framed proclamation declaring the day ‘Burna Boy Day’.”
    • EII Ghana Africa (website): “Thank you for the incredible honour and recognition… It’s only UP from here,” he wrote.

    Analysis/Echotitbits take: City proclamations can be ceremonial, but in pop culture they act like ‘soft power’ proof—helping artists deepen brand partnerships, tour leverage, and diaspora visibility. Watch for whether the proclamation fuels more U.S. cultural collaborations, sponsorships, or civic-facing events tied to Afrobeats artists.
