Talent manager and Tiwa Savage’s estranged husband, Tunji Balogun, popularly known as Teebillz, has publicly apologized to media personality Toke Makinwa after initially criticizing her comments regarding the high-profile separation of Nigerian music legend, 2Baba, and his wife, Annie Idibia.
The controversy began when Toke Makinwa took to social media to share her thoughts on the divorce, expressing her strong support for Annie Idibia. In her post, she humorously warned 2Baba to be ready to face her and other supporters for daring to walk away from his marriage. Her comments, which many interpreted as a show of loyalty to Annie, quickly sparked debates online.
Teebillz, however, was not pleased with Makinwa’s stance. He took to Instagram to issue a stern warning, stating that she should refrain from interfering in other people’s family matters. He further accused her of lacking the level of understanding and forgiveness exhibited by other women who have children for their partners.

His statement immediately generated mixed reactions, with social media users speculating that his attack on Makinwa could cause a strain in their relationship, especially given her close friendship with his ex-wife, Tiwa Savage.

In a surprising turn of events, Teebillz later recanted his earlier remarks and took responsibility for his actions. On Saturday, he shared a heartfelt apology on Instagram, admitting that he had acted out of character due to his deep admiration and love for both 2Baba and Annie Idibia.
In his words:
“My sincere apologies to TM [Toke Makinwa]. I jumped the gun and goofed. I honestly acted out of character because of the unconditional love I have for Annie and King 2. My action was based on expired knowledge and lack of understanding of the current occurrences.”
He went on to acknowledge his mistake and expressed hope for a chance to privately reconcile with Toke Makinwa.
“I hope you spare my ignorance. Hopefully, I get the chance to privately apologize to sort out our differences. My action was exactly what I accused you of. Hope you forgive my emotional incompetence, please.”
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Industry Insiders
Teebillz’s apology has since sparked fresh conversations online, with some commending him for taking accountability, while others questioned why he reacted so strongly in the first place. Some users noted that his initial outburst reflected the tendency of public figures to let personal emotions interfere with online discourse.
Meanwhile, Toke Makinwa has yet to publicly respond to the apology, leaving many wondering if she will accept his request for a private conversation to mend fences.
As the drama unfolds, fans continue to discuss the impact of social media exchanges among celebrities and how misunderstandings can quickly escalate into full-blown controversies.
