Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa has stirred reactions online after admitting she used Mounjaro during her weight loss journey, weeks after fans repeatedly questioned her slimmer appearance on social media.
According to Kemi Filani, the media star made the revelation while discussing her “snapback” body and lifestyle changes.
Speaking on her transformation, Toke admitted that she initially joined the growing list of celebrities using the medication before deciding to stop later on.
“I was on Mounjaro,” she said.
She, however, explained that maintaining her current body shape now requires discipline, healthier eating habits and regular workouts.
The disclosure quickly became a trending topic on X, Instagram and TikTok, with many Nigerians debating celebrity beauty standards, body pressure and the increasing use of weight-loss medications among public figures.
Meanwhile, some social media users praised her honesty, claiming many celebrities often deny using enhancement treatments despite obvious physical changes.
Others, however, criticised the trend, alleging that celebrities are indirectly pressuring young women to chase unrealistic body goals.
The conversation has also renewed public interest in Mounjaro, a medication originally designed for diabetes treatment but now widely discussed globally for weight management.
In reaction to the interview, several fans said Toke’s openness may encourage more honest conversations around cosmetic procedures, body image and celebrity lifestyle expectations in Nigeria.
As at the time of filing this report, the clip continues to gain traction across entertainment blogs and social media platforms.
