“Toke Makinwa Finally Addresses Identity Of Her Baby Daddy Amid Online Speculations”

Nigerian media personality, Toke Makinwa, has clarified speculations surrounding the identity of her baby’s father after a fan suggested that he was a Muslim.

According to Ireporter Online, the speculation arose after Toke’s recent TikTok post attracted a comment linking her daughter’s name, Yakira Eliana, to Islam. The fan wrote, “I think Yakira’s dad is a Muslim,” prompting a swift response from the OAP.

Reacting, Toke dismissed the claim, explaining that her daughter’s name is of Hebrew origin and not connected to Islam. She stated, “He is not. Yakira is a Hebrew name. Beloved, precious, and someone of great worth.”

It would be recalled that Toke welcomed her first child, a baby girl, in August 2025, but has kept the identity of the father private.

Meanwhile, the media personality recently spoke about her journey into motherhood, revealing that her daughter has been a source of emotional healing. Toke, who lost her parents in a tragic fire incident as a child, disclosed via X that motherhood is helping her overcome unresolved childhood trauma and long-buried grief.

In her words, “My daughter brought me healing, she is daily healing parts of me I didn’t even know needed healing, healing from my childhood trauma, from grief I thought I had dealt with a long time ago. God knew I needed this.”
