The Ijakumo star clarified that she took this action due to the trolling she has faced since declaring her support for Bola Tinubu during the 2023 elections.
In light of this, netizens reflected on the time when Toyin's colleague, Funke Akindele, was similarly dragged and bullied during her campaign as the Lagos deputy governorship candidate under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which she lost.

Many praised the Battle on Buka Street star for handling her trolls in a mature way and admired how she managed to bounce back with her record-breaking movies.
A post from Ayomide on X read:
"Funke Akindele was dragged, bullied, and called different names when she contested as Lagos Deputy Governor candidate. She didn't arrest anybody. She lost the election, went back to making movies, and released the highest-grossing Nollywood movie of all time. That's my Goat."
Another from Oyindamola read:
"What she doesn't understand is that this move would do a lot of harm than good. And no wonder Funke Akindele refuses to associate herself with her even after writing her hypocritical useless epistle that nobody cares about. Nobody wants to associate with a messy person."
