Nigerian music star 2Face Idibia is suing a tabloid for libel over a story alleging he had impregnated a banker. 2Face who’s married to Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay but has several children with different mothers reportedly slammed the N100 million suit against local tabloid Icon Weekly over the report that went viral early this year.
According to reports, the Media/Entertainment Law Firm of L & A- Legal Consultants filed libel proceedings on behalf of 2face, at the Ikeja High Court asking the court to award their client the sum of N100million being damages for the libelous publication posted on the magazine’s online and print editions.
In February this year, Icon Weekly alleged that 2face committed adultery by impregnating a ‘Lagos top banker’ supposedly his account officer in one of the new generation banks and that the lady was planning to have the baby. 2face is said to have lost a very lucrative deal because of the false publication which also caused ripples between him and his wife.
