Street named after Tuface Idibia in Kenya

Last Updated: 1 hour ago Tuface Idibaia is currently in Kenya with his beautiful wife, Annie Idibia. The couple seems to be having a great time in the country. Photos of the duo have been surfacing on line since their arrival in Kenya. Though he is there for a show, but a little relaxation is also cool, just like a little get away.

There could be bad blood between the 12-time All-Star and the organization he has spent 13 seasons with. His wife, Gabrielle Union, alluded to that with a tweet last week saying: "When u waiting for a text/email/skywriting and nada... thanks for being crystal clear."
