Toke Makinwa reveals she thought Genevieve Nnaji ‘slept around to acquire estates’

Nigerian media personality, Toke Makinwa in a new episode of Toke Moments opened up about how before she became successful, used to be one of those people who believe that certain entertainers, especially major female celebrities like Genevieve Nnaji, attained prominence by sleeping with men.

She shared her experience and explained how ultimately her mindset changed about Genevieve Nnaji and others with huge assets after she became successful.

Toke Makinwa narrates to Lilian Afegbai:

“I remember doing Youtube videos back in the day saying “even if you dash me a Birkin, I will never own one”.

I said those things, because to be quite honest, I was probably talking from a place of lack. I remember before things started happening for me, you will hear things like

“Ah, Genevieve has this or has that estate” or all that and somebody in the room will be like

“Abeg no pressure yourself!

“No, be this person she dey date, no be that person buy am for am?” and you will probably start thinking they’re actually doing that. Until you start earning money and start being smart with your money, and things start happening for you. And then you sit back and realize, perhaps that person wasn’t even doing all of those things.

“So I think I too also had to go through that phase because me too I used to be part of those people that whenever I sit down, I will be like “yimu, it’s not possible, there must be a man behind that success” until I actually realized that, you know what? People don’t even understand that I am a walking billboard. I make money in my sleep.”
