In other news… Former Nigerian radio personality Shade Ladipo has shared his take on the viral video featuring Toke Makinwa and Aremo Oniru.

The footage, which has been circulating widely online, captures the pair at the launch of Tiwa Sãvage’s music foundation. In the clip, Toke and Aremo are deep in conversation when a woman approaches and gives Aremo a quick peck, prompting Toke to respond with a playful, cheeky expression.

Reacting to the scene, Shade jokingly teased Toke about her hustling tendencies and commented on the influence that comes with Aremo’s wealth. He said:

“This really caught my attention, and people have been talking about this video. The hustle is real. Aremo can reach all of us. The money is powerful enough to reach everyone. You’d think that as people climb higher in life, they have more access to friends and family, but the higher they go, the more they have to support. I hope that’s all there is to it. It’s just so unusual.”

Shade’s reaction captures both amusement and mild bewilderment, giving fans even more reason to laugh and keep discussing the viral clip.
