Media personality and actress, Toke Makinwa, has clapped back at an online troll who attempted to body-shame her after she shared stunning birthday photos on social media.
The OAP, who recently welcomed her first child, Yaya, posted gorgeous photos from her birthday shoot to celebrate the new phase of her life. However, what was meant to be a moment of joy quickly attracted an insensitive remark from a social media user who criticized her postpartum appearance.
The troll commented under her post, writing: “Toke Makinwa, it’s unwise to do this shoot knowing fully well that you still have a bloated stomach and you’re still nurturing Yaya. Anyways, happy birthday to you. No offence.”
The comment, which appeared to be masked with a backhanded compliment, did not sit well with many fans. In response, Toke dropped a short but powerful reply: “Wow. Just WOW.”
Her succinct reaction quickly went viral, with fans and celebrities storming her comment section to defend her.
Many praised her for handling the criticism with class and restraint instead of lashing out. Others condemned the troll for body-shaming a woman who had just gone through childbirth, describing the comment as unnecessary and unkind.
Social media users commended Toke for always carrying herself with grace and confidence, regardless of public opinion. One fan wrote, “Women should be celebrated for bringing life into the world, not shamed for their bodies afterwards. Toke looks beautiful.”
Another added, “This is exactly why many women fear posting pictures after childbirth. The internet is too judgmental. Toke handled it like a queen.”
Toke Makinwa has long been one of Nigeria’s most stylish and outspoken media figures. Over the years, she has openly shared her struggles and triumphs, often using her platform to inspire women to embrace self-love and authenticity.
Her recent experience only reinforces her message that no woman should be shamed for her natural body, especially after childbirth.
Despite the criticism, the “Toke Moments” host appeared unbothered, continuing to share more stunning photos from her birthday shoot. Her fans flooded her page with love, birthday wishes, and words of encouragement, celebrating her confidence and elegance.
The incident also sparked broader conversations about body positivity and postpartum expectations, with many urging Nigerians to be more supportive of mothers adjusting to life after childbirth.
Toke Makinwa’s graceful response has once again reminded her followers that strength isn’t in shouting back at negativity, but in choosing dignity and poise when faced with hate.
She remains a shining example of confidence and self-assurance in the face of social media criticism, proving that sometimes, silence or in this case, just “Wow” can be the loudest response.
