Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa has reacted to the fast-spreading reports claiming that she secretly got married to her partner Farouk Umar during her birthday thanksgiving bash.
It all began on Sunday, October 20, 2024, when a series of pictures and videos from her event sparked conversation on the internet, as well as some confusion.
In some of the images and videos, Makinwa and Farouk both wore white attire and in another viral video, Farouk kissed her neck, fuelling the reports that they secretly got hitched. Some reports even stated that she got engaged at the event and many were left confused as to what the party was for exactly.
In reaction to the reports, many happy fans, followers and well-wishers flooded Makinwa's comment section with congratulatory messages and prayers.
A fan wrote, "Big T 😍😍😍Y’all shouldn’t forget that I’m still a legit major Jeweler tho😌💎💍💍"
"Psalm 16: You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Congratulations TM. I join the angels in heaven and earth to celebrate this Thanksgiving service with you," said another follower.
However, during her afterparty, Makinwa addressed the spiralling reports and even friend-zoned Farouk.
"On Obasanjo's internet, they said I got married to this guy. This guy is my best friend o, listen, on Toke Makinwa's internet, they said I married Farouk. Farouk my friend, ore mi.. this is my nigga and my friend, my brother, who wan marry you. Farouk held me down when there was nobody," she said.
Afterwards, on October 21, 2024, she took to X to clarify that she did not tie the knot with Farouk, and thanked everyone for their well wishes.
"I did not get married yesterday, I deeply appreciate all your love and prayers, I see how you all desire for me to settle down and God who is the author of time will do it when he thinks it is right. Yesterday was to honor God."
