Those days, Annie will sit under the tree, crying and asking me if 2face really loved her - Faze

Below is what Faze had to say about Annie Macaulay and her relationship with 2face back in the days during his recent interview:

“It’s all about choice when he decided to marry Annie. I’ve known Annie for years and I think she’s perfect for him. There were times she would sit under the tree, crying and asking me if 2face really loved her. Even when 2face was dating Annie, Black Face and I were equally dating two of Annie’s friends. But we didn’t marry those girls but 2face and Annie eventually got married. That’s life for you.”
