Nigerian media personality and actress Toke Makinwa recently confronted a social media troll who mocked her admiration for Canadian rapper Drake. Makinwa publicly admitted her long-standing crush on Drake, which drew the attention of a Twitter user, @Ugootweets, who belittled her feelings as “peak delusion & fooling.”
In response, Makinwa fiercely condemned the troll’s derogatory comments. She expressed her outrage, stating, “Imagine being related to someone who tweets or thinks like this? God abeg o. Your mother should have swallowed, cos this is a sorry excuse of a human being. Do better.” Furthermore, Makinwa adamantly declared her refusal to tolerate cyberbullying, asserting, “I have a mouth too and I will no longer look away if you come at me left. No be me do you.”
The incident sheds light on the pervasive issue of cyberbullying and the resilience demonstrated by public figures like Makinwa in standing up to online harassment. Her bold response serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing and challenging such negative behavior, resonating with individuals who have faced similar online mistreatment.
