Nigerian media sensation Toke Makinwa isn’t holding back as she shuts down a netizen accusing her of “performative privacy” over her daughter, Yaya.
What Happened?
A concerned fan questioned why Toke only shows snippets of her daughter — legs, arms, and back — instead of keeping her fully off social media. The netizen suggested Toke’s approach was attention-seeking, calling it “performative privacy.”
Toke’s Response
Toke didn’t waste time. She told the netizen straight:
“Exactly, not your circus, boo! Do whatever works for you, and it’s my page and not yours. This long epistle over a child’s identity that is not yours is so bizarre. Get help.”
Context
This isn’t Toke’s first time addressing trolls. She’s also corrected misconceptions about her daughter’s father, clarifying that Yaya’s name, Yakira, is Hebrew, meaning “beloved” and “precious,” and shut down assumptions about his religion.
Toke has also fired back at trolls mocking her unmarried status, affirming her faith that God will bring her story at the right time. She has openly praised marriage and emphasized that she doesn’t judge others, noting that appearances can be deceiving.
The Takeaway
Toke Makinwa continues to protect her daughter while keeping it real online — proving that boundaries and social media savvy can coexist.
