Actress cum movie maker, Toyin Abraham has warned those who are fond of comparing her wealth to her husband’s, saying that her husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi does not live off her as being brandished on social media platforms, insisting that she’s proud to be married to a man who works hard and supports her dream.

The actress who showered praises on her husband who added a year during the week and gifted himself a brand new SUV to celebrate the year drew reactions from social media users who claimed that Toyin bought the vehicle for her husband.

While Ajeyemi’s colleagues congratulated him, some social media users questioned the source of the vehicle with some of them insinuating that the actor could not have afforded the new ride without her wife’s financial backing.

Toyin, however jumped in her husband’s defense as she frowned on what she described as baseless assumptions about her husband’s wealth, warning people not to ridicule her man’s hard work and what he stands for.

She maintained that her husband has worked hard over the years to earn his money and respect, adding that allegations that she bought him the SUV should be disregarded and trashed.

She wrote: “I don’t usually do this and I am only going to address this just once and I hope this ends here. People need to stop this mentality that famous people or the more famous ones are the richest in their family, relationships or even friendships.

“Just because some people do not like to blow their own horns doesn’t mean they should be seen as less or incapable. I’m speaking up because I won’t let people talk down on my husband who is a very hard-working man and is doing a lot for me and the kids. Do not ridicule his hard work and what he stands for.

“Everything he has, he’s worked for with his own sweat and he deserves it. I am the last born of my family and you’d think I’m the richest just because I’m famous which is far from the truth.

“It is 2022 please, we need to do better and stop this ill-mannered mentality.

“Celebrate people without trying to pitch them against another person or ridicule their hard work or give credit to another. It’s so old and needs to stop.”
