“The first advice I will give you in my entire life is don’t put your mouth in politics. Don’t tell them you’re supporting anybody. Don’t support anybody, just be on your own. Be neutral,” she told Timini.
When reminded of her own open support for Tinubu, Toyin responded, “That was then.” She also admitted the political stance affected her work, shouting, “Haaaaaaa, it affected me oooo.”
Reports indicate that Toyin had earlier cried out in early 2024 after her movie Ijakumo (Born-Again Strippeer) was allegedly being widely shared on WhatsApp, leading to poor box office results.
Speaking on the backlash, she lamented, “You all will tell the world why choosing my own candidate is a crime, and yours is not,” highlighting the challenges she faced from netizens who vowed not to watch her movie because of her political stance.
Sharing the video online, Timini wrote:
"Me and my partner came to collect orientation from @toyin_abraham World best. This advice shock us o 😂😂😂😂."
