Nigerian media personality and entrepreneur, Toke Makinwa, has recently found herself at the center of online speculation after a video of her went viral, with critics alleging that she was wearing diapers underneath her outfit. The video, which features Toke promoting her upcoming event, sparked a wave of reactions on social media, as many users commented on her appearance and attire.
In the footage, Toke can be seen donning a figure-hugging jean that some viewers claimed looked unusual around her midsection, which led to the diaper accusations. The online buzz quickly escalated, with social media users divided between criticizing and defending her. While some insisted that the perceived “diaper” appearance was simply a result of her outfit, others speculated that it could be shapewear or padding used to enhance the body’s shape.
Among the critics, an Instagram user, @jmk_ara, questioned, “Why is she wearing diapers just to keep people talking?” Another user, @andrew.christabel, remarked, “Why is your front so swollen like you wore diapers…?” These comments fueled further discussion about her appearance.
Conversely, some users criticized the focus on Toke’s looks and urged others to be more responsible in their commentary. @gem_treatz_and_more expressed frustration, stating, “I don’t understand how someone is passing an information and the comment section is more concerned about her pr*vate part!? Are we ok in this country?? Seems like overfeeding is doing everybody😒.” This comment reflects a growing concern over the body shaming and scrutiny that public figures often face.
