Toke Makinwa dispels rumours of marriage with Farouk Umar

Popular media personality, Toke Makinwa has disputed that she married entertainment guru Farouk Umar at her 40th birthday Thanksgiving party in Lagos.

Rumors spread quickly on social media after photographs and videos of Toke and Farouk appeared online. The two were dressed in all-white clothing and appeared to be having romantic moments.

Toke, on the other hand, has denied remarrying and maintains that she and Farouk are simply acquaintances.

“On Obasanjo’s internet, they said I got married to this guy, this guy is my best friend. Listen, on Toke Makinwa’s internet, they said I married Farouk.

“Farouk, my friend, ore mi.. this is my nigga and my friend, my brother, who wan marry you. Farouk held me down when there was nobody.”

The OAP also appreciated her friends for standing by her during that difficult period.

She said, “Jesus, you comforted me when my friends left me. Jesus, you saw me through a divorce. When I thought I was going to die, when I did not know if I was going to wake up the next day, somehow you held me together. Even when I showed a frail faith, you knew I was not frail. Somehow, you made me a tiger. You are the one that liveth. You are the one that will never fail.

Makinwa married Maje Ayida whom she had been involved with for eight years prior to their wedding. In 2015, she separated from Ayida after discovering that he had impregnated his ex-girlfriend. On 5 October 2017, Makinwa's marriage to Ayida was dissolved by a Lagos High Court on the grounds that Ayida committed adultery
