BBNaija Season 9 twins, Wanni and Handi, have come under intense scrutiny following their choice of revealing outfits at Toke Makinwa’s Thanksgiving party, an event that also celebrated Makinwa’s upcoming birthday. The twin sisters, known for their bold fashion statements, attended the event in outfits that left little to the imagination, which immediately caught the attention of both attendees and online users.
The party, attended by numerous celebrities, influencers, and notable figures in the Nigerian entertainment industry, saw Wanni and Handi take center stage—not for their presence, but for the controversy surrounding their attire. Their daring outfits quickly became a trending topic on social media as photos and videos from the event circulated widely.
Critics were quick to label their outfits “inappropriate” for the occasion, with many pointing out that a Thanksgiving event, especially one hosted by Toke Makinwa, demanded a more modest dress code. Some argued that their fashion choices were merely a way to seek attention, overshadowing the true purpose of the event. In particular, social media users expressed disappointment at their decision to wear such provocative clothing to an event that had spiritual and reflective undertones, as it was meant to appreciate God for Makinwa’s life journey.
The backlash did not stop at casual commentary; many fans of the show voiced their opinions strongly, suggesting that Wanni and Handi’s outfits undermined the significance of the event. Several users commented on how their attire seemed more suited for a red carpet or fashion show, rather than a Thanksgiving gathering. The overall sentiment was one of disapproval, with calls for the twins to consider the appropriateness of their clothing in the future.
Despite the growing criticism, the BBNaija stars have remained silent and have not publicly addressed the issue. Their fans, however, have taken to social media to defend them, arguing that individuals should be allowed to express themselves through fashion without judgment. Yet, the divide between supporters and critics continues to widen, as many argue that the public nature of the event warranted more thoughtfulness in their choice of attire.
