TVC E. Popular media personality Toke Makinwa has spoken on her past life which includes a sex tap and the reason why she bleached her skin. The TV host and Vlogger talks about contemplating suicide, finding God, bleaching and more in her newly released book titled, “On Becoming”.
On sex tape and bleaching,
“At some point while we were dating, Maje had asked if he could tape us having sex. This was a new one for me but I would do anything to keep my man, or so I thought, and so I obliged. But I was nervous afterwards because I didn’t want the tape to get into the wrong hands…. I dragged the file back to his desktop, and I could tell from the stilled image in the video that the person in it was not me…. I clicked play and watched horrified as Maje had sex with Anita.
Watching that video, all of the inadequacies I thought I had dealt with over the years came rushing back. I had been with Maje from when I was an immature teenager, through my twenties, and for most of those years, Anita had been the standard I had to live up to. I had lightened my skin at some point – Anita was half Lebanese and half Ibibio, and Maje made me feel like he preferred her lighter skin.
Asides all this, Makinwa has got a soaring career in the media space and with an Industrious personality she has been able to win hearts nationwide.
