Nigerian media personality, Toke Makinwa has dismissed recent marriage rumours, stating that the ‘supposed husband’ Farouk Umar is her friend.

Her words: “Jesus, you have comforted me when friends left me. Jesus, you saw me through a divorce. When I thought I was going to die, when I did not know if I was going to wake up the next day, somehow you held me together.

“Even when I showed a frail faith, you knew I was not frail. Somehow you made me a tiger. You are the one that liveth. You are the one that will never fail.”

The actress also thanked God for the calibre of friends He blessed her with, emphasising that they have always been there for her.

“I thank God for all my friends here. I thank God that I am not looking out to look for you guys, I am looking up. I have not been the best of friend for you guys, but somehow you see something and I am grateful.”

She also explained that Farouk has always been consistently supportive, reiterating that he is her best friend.

“On Obasanjo’s internet, they said I got married to this guy. This guy is my best friend o, listen, on Toke Makinwa’s internet, they said I married Farouk. Farouk my friend, ore mi.. this is my nigga and my friend, my brother, who wan marry you. Farouk held me down when there was nobody.”
