Some people even questioned the authenticity of her baby bump, while many others were just too happy about the “good news”.
Controversial social media personality, Uche Maduagwu, commented, “Toke, who gives you belle? Na married man or single, let’s know abeg.”
A follower, african.echo, wrote, “Who’s the project supervisor,” while Vaesaly added, “Who’s the father?”
Afroblog001 wrote, “Thought you said you no need man for your life or na woman sperm did the job?” Mobabyyy0 commented, “Who the baby daddy tho?”
Known to be unapologetic about her standards, Makinde, once noted that although her man doesn’t have to be rich, he must be able to take care of her needs. Also, during a question and answer session with her fans on Instagram, she was asked if she preferred to have a child without marriage or was keen on getting married first. Responding, she noted that she was interested in remarrying because she wanted her child to have what she never had.
Makinwa is also known for her stance on feminism and advocacy for women, particularly in relationships.
That seemingly led a commenter, queen_isiguzo, to ask, “Interesting….is she in a relationship?”

Although Makinwa has received numerous congratulatory messages from colleagues and fans, some people claimed that her bump was fake. Shemstrends wrote, “Why do I feel it’s artificial and low key a surrogate, but however tf I’m feeling, congratulations to her.” Bmgangrecords also suggested, “This is AI at work, our aunty don go hire surrogacy.”
Some self-styled “private investigators” have also linked Makinwa’s recent announcement to the rumours that swirled during her 40th birthday, stating that she was engaged to be married to Farouk Umar. This was after pictures surfaced online showing her dressed in a white outfit and veil. It was later noted that the outfit was for her birthday thanksgiving service. Makinwa also stated that Umar was her best friend and that their relationship was purely platonic.
