Toyin Aimakhu Changes Name to Toyin Abraham
Popular Yoruba actress, Toyin Aimakhu, has changed her name to Toyin Abraham.
The controversial actress now uses ‘Toyin Abraham’ on all her social media handles.
According to her, the change of name was a family decision.
She said: “It is a family decision and I will like to be officially addressed as Toyin Abraham henceforth”.
Sources in the entertainment industry said the changing of name was as a result of the unpleasant occurrences in her personal life and career in 2016.
“Of all issues linked to her name in 2016, the shame of being associated with Seun Egbegbe is indescribable.
The robbery incident that involved Seun Egbegbe at the Computer Village in Lagos and the media reportage, which hinged headlines to her name, must have shamed the actress.
“Aside from that, the latest discovery of how she tried to cover up for Seun during his arrest at a GOTV dealer store in Ibadan was also shameful. She wants to start 2017 on a new note and a clean slate. All these media reports are affecting her career especially her image which has put a hold on her forging ahead especially in endorsement deals,” said a source.
