Toyin Aimakhu in a new interview with Punch has defended the photos of
her family that she always posts on social media…she says she doesn’t intend stopping, so we should get prepared for many more photos :).
Speaking with Punch, she said “People will always have something to say. If my husband was beating me
up, then some people pretending to be women right activists have their
partners pummel them at any given opportunity. Some people want what you
have but when they can’t have it they just ‘bad-mouth’ you. I sometimes read comments about me online when I’m bored because they crack me up.
There’s no way I can ever stop putting out our pictures on social media
because we are both in the industry. If people don’t talk about us, how
do we make money? How do we get jobs? Because he is a caring husband,
the consensus is that I have jazzed him. I wanted my hair blown out
because I wanted to fix a weave-on and he offered to do it. I have been
using Ozone relaxer for ages and can’t stop using it because other kits
do not work for me. They still have a lot to talk about because this is
just a tip of the iceberg.”
So, has marriage been all rosy for her? Letting out a smile, Aimakhu,
who is the youngest child in a family of five, says she set her
priorities right even though it comes with a huge price.
“I have lost some jobs as a result of my marital status but it is worth
it because you can’t buy a good home or compare it to anything in this
world. You can always get another job after you lose one. But once you
lose your home it is difficult to get another good home.
I take up controversial roles wisely and can no longer go the extra mile
with male colleagues on set or take up bitchy roles. My husband can
take up any role and he knows how to handle them. My man is very decent
and does whatever he feels is right. After all, location is location
while home is home,” she stated.
