“I was criticized for my failed marriage despite my ex-husband impregnating a lady” -Toke Makinwa
Media personality and actress, Toke Makinwa has opened up on her failed marriage to Maje Ayinde.
In the latest episode of her YouTube vlog series, Toke Moments, Toke noted how she was blamed for her marriage failing even though her ex-husband fathered a child with another woman.
She said people had different versions of what they thought her marriage was.
Toke noted that this left her traumatized as she was the victim, but she was getting blamed for the divorce.
She said, “I woke up being talked about on radio, television. People had different versions of what they thought my marriage was, how they thought my marriage was, and possibly what they thought would have led to where we have gotten to.
“I don’t think there is any news in the Nigerian space that has been that chaotic.
“I was trending nonstop on Twitter with people saying the most horrible things. I mean, I couldn’t even stop it because it was like, how am I being blamed for a situation that happened to me?”.
Toke Makinwa got married in 2014 to Maje Ayida, and they got divorced in 2016 on the grounds of adultery.
Speaking in an edition of ‘Tea with Taymesan’ podcast, the fashionista said she didn’t see her divorce coming.
According to her: “I didn’t see my divorce coming, I remember cutting my 30th birthday cake in my husband’s house and I remember saying: ‘Yo b*tches, I am 30, I have a blossoming career, I am married, everything is going great right now’. I remembered that night and my sister said ‘What do you mean? You are feeling yourself. I told her, I got married before 30 and told her to put respect on my name. It affected every area of my life, it felt like death. It felt like losing someone.”
