Funke Akindele, Tiwa Savage, and Toyin Abraham Defend Toke Makinwa Against Online Troll
Nigerian stars Funke Akindele, Tiwa Savage, and Toyin Abraham have rallied around media personality Toke Makinwa after an online troll made a disparaging remark about her pregnancy announcement.
On August 13, 2025, Toke revealed on Instagram that she is expecting her first child, calling the journey the most important and fulfilling chapter of her life. The 40-year-old shared that she began the year believing it would bring transformative experiences, and she is grateful for the timing, which she described as perfect and long-awaited. Known for her work in radio, television, and brand influencing, she said motherhood will be the most meaningful role she has ever taken on.
However, her joyous announcement was met with an insensitive comment from a social media user who suggested the pregnancy might not be natural and hinted at surrogacy.
The comment didn’t go unnoticed. Toyin Abraham fired back, delivering a sharp rebuke in Yoruba. Funke Akindele kept it short and cutting, while Tiwa Savage urged the troll to delete the remark entirely.
Their responses quickly drew support from fans, turning the moment into a strong show of solidarity for Toke as she steps into this new chapter of her life.
