Here are some of the best and funniest. Spoilers ahead.
Annie: “I have been in hundreds of shows but people still refer me to 2 baba’s wife?
— Mother Of Passports (@justrioba) March 19, 2022
I am Annie Macaulay and everyone will know my name”
Also Annie every two business seconds: “My husband”#YoungFamousAndAfrican
Annie is pathetic im sorry. Small argument “thats why you dont have a man”. Sad to say but she is the most typical Nigerian woman ever 😭

I just asked my cousin if she thought Annie Idibia was a ride or die chic.
— Menee Hammah (@StonecoldEsi) March 19, 2022
Her: “She’s not riding, she’s just dying.”
Ma’am what?! 😭 #YoungFamousAndAfrican #YoungFamousAfrican
Not Annie Idibia saying “this is wrong” because Diamond Platnumz said he has 4 kids he knows about. Girl please look inwards 😂😂😂 #YoungFamousAfrican

Annie: Innocent’s spec (2baba) are dark skinned girls.
— GREYSEE (@vivacious_grace) March 18, 2022
Annie: he like small ass, cute ass.
Zari : You know when they cheat, they cheat with their opposite types.

Okay. Now can we talk about the make up ..and the wigs?
— Mother Of Passports (@justrioba) March 20, 2022
The girlies were done dirty #YoungFamousAfrican
Funny thing is , if Annie Macaulay never mentioned who her husband is, most of us in the East & south would have never known who she was married to.#YoungFamousAndAfrican
— Mother Of Passports (@justrioba) March 20, 2022
To be honest, I didn't even know 2Face had a wife. This was my first time even seeing Annie. When she said people know her wherever she goes, I was like damnnn.. I must be living in a jungle Ma. This show is what introduced me to her. https://t.co/mfzoSnAGzm

The girlies: “omg Zari you are so dramatic. Ever since you arrived it’s been chaos. You are trying to split the group”#YoungFamousAndAfrican
I never ever thought I'd be a Zari fan girl, but here I am! Young, famous and African is really highlighting her. pic.twitter.com/SP0IuY2Jex

Naked saying they chose the biggest ho to officiate the wedding like the groom isn’t the ho pro max.#youngfamousAfrican

Imagine begging your husband the night before your wedding to “not cheat for the next 10 years?” 😩😩#YoungFamousAndAfrican

By the time Swanky finishes dressing on this show will there be any accessories left in Sub Saharan Africa?
— Jola (@Jollz) March 19, 2022
Khanyi, Nadia and Annie. True to their brand. Authentic. What’s a luxury show without Khanyi. She owns her story. So did Annie. Nadia is good vibes. https://t.co/LGuvpDeUGZ

In their words, strong means you take any BS thrown at you. You suffer in silence and hold it down while their hoeing around and still have a family to come back to at the end of the day. Back to sender with that “strong woman” narrative. #YoungRichandAfrican https://t.co/H9vN613eOJ

You guys. I am in tears 😂😂😂😂

Nadia kept a straight face and I respect her for it 😂😂

I don’t know who did Khanyi’s makeup this entire show but they need to be arrested. Bcc what was that? 🥴 #YoungRichandAfrican #YoungFamousAfrican pic.twitter.com/TQ9rQIHAso

Side bar: I think it’s SUPER cool how similar Eastern and Southern African Bantu languages are to each other.

I can easily pick up that “uMuntu wakho” in isiZulu is also “mtu wako” (your person) in Swahili. Love it! #YoungFamousAndAfrican
Annie Idibia went out sad. You told us this show was about you leaving 2Baba shadow and then proceeded to make everything about 2Baba. There was no Annie, whoever that person is. Everything was centered around this man who violated your marriage. #YoungFamousAndAfrican pic.twitter.com/43CN8LqXKP
— the sweetest parts🙈☺️ (@Lestiina) March 19, 2022
Annie Idibia and Khloe Kardashian, same WhatsApp group. If you willingly settle down with a man whose penis is community dick, stop seeking sympathy and lie in that bed you’ve made for yourself. https://t.co/tFqSPZ1IW5
— Naomi (@Naominagatta) March 18, 2022
And it's funny cause she has a man but at what cost? 10 years of a whack marriage?😭😭😭😭chileeeee https://t.co/yCQkV5frMm

Zari’s only crime is being intelligent, beautiful, rich, classy and confident #YoungFamousAndAfrican pic.twitter.com/wfN2UBVh8y
— Anitah Trinasha 🌻 (@anitah_trinasha) March 19, 2022
Annie is stupid in love
— Mmathabo (@Mmathabo_M) March 20, 2022
Nadia is unnecessary
Kayleigh is Honest and fair
Khanyi is failing to accept that Zari's Crown is bigger than hers. And she think she's the group leader.
Zari's is indeed the Boss Lady,confident and super intimidating.#YoungFamousAndAfrican
Annie confidently saying that Zari didn't mean her apology 😒😒… Girl c'mon, do you think your husband meant any of his apologies?? #YoungFamousAndAfrican pic.twitter.com/iWeHcSnPrf
— Zoe (@omwiisiki) March 19, 2022
Annie would have taken a different decision after his cheating streak if he wasn't a successful musician but we will touch this part later.
— YH (@Yemihazan) March 20, 2022
Whatever possessed Annie to love like that… may it stay away from me in Jesus’ name #YoungFamousAfrican pic.twitter.com/ykJLAqk4nM

Zari better than me. Anytime Annie would have opened her mouth i would have dragged her marriage to hell. Lmaoooo

No.
— Sukari Nguru (@missnguru) March 20, 2022
But who's Khanyi's hairstylist 😭
Bobrisky should be on the next season of young, rich and african
— Social Experiment (@MediaMK) March 20, 2022
Uyo Annie Adibia ni mitishamba ameshikiwa

They should have included Bobrisky in Young,Famous&African.
