Celebrity designer Toyin Lawani confronts online trolling of her daughter.
Celebrity fashion designer and influencer Toyin Lawani publicly rebuked social media users who trolled her second daughter after she posted a video online. The viral incident prompted her to demand more respectful behaviour online.
In a recent Instagram story, Lawani emphasised: “Social media has turned all of us into mates,” highlighting the need for kindness rather than cruelty toward children spotlighted in online content.
This clash echoes a growing trend of Nigerian celebrities pushing back against toxic commentary and the emotional impact on families. Celebrities increasingly advocate for protective online norms.
Lawani ended her response with an appeal: for users to “think before you type” and shield children from unnecessary online negativity.
