Maverick Nigerian singer and activist, Charles Oputa, widely known as Charly Boy, has advised his fellow celebrities to avoid airing their personal issues in public, especially when it comes to marital matters. Charly Boy’s comments come in the wake of the ongoing marital crisis between power couple 2baba (Innocent Idibia) and Annie Idibia, which has recently garnered significant media attention.
In a recent interview with TVC, the septuagenarian expressed his concerns about the public nature of celebrity relationships and the damage it can cause. “I feel sorry for the couple [2Face and Annie Idibia]. It’s unfortunate. But my advice would be, can we just keep our business private, away from the public?” he said.
Charly Boy, who has long been known for his outspoken views, highlighted the negative impact of social media on private lives. He suggested that while social media has transformed how people communicate, individuals still have control over what they choose to share. “Social media has changed a lot but it’s up to the people, too. I’m not talking from a saintly perspective. I have had quarrels with my partner but we settle in the room privately,” he remarked.
The singer’s views seemed to be rooted in personal experience. Charly Boy further elaborated on how he prefers to handle his own marital challenges away from public scrutiny. “You don’t bring it outside to the public to settle. I think that’s wrong because if I were to stop living with my wife today, nobody would know about it. I won’t make noise about it,” he explained.
This statement from Charly Boy resonates with the ongoing public discussion around the Idibias’ marriage. The couple, who have been married for years, have faced several controversies, with their most recent marital issues being widely discussed on social media platforms and news outlets.
