Tonto used the opportunity offered her by the award night to introduce this guy to the guests. She is also said to have been flaunting the new lover around in events they attend together.
It would be recalled that over time, the sultry actress has been described by some people as an ecentric, especially with her care free attitude, while others have wondered if any man could successfully tame her.
Although her name has been linked to so many men that allegedly dated her in the past, Tonto has decided to flaunt her new heartthrob as the man in her life.
Sola, who is also the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Malivelihood is said to be living large through his business of customising jewelries and accessories for top celebrities.
Prior to her new found love, it was reported that gifted Hip-Hop star, Wande Coal, is seriously dreaming of holding the beautiful Tonto in his arm with a dream of calling her ‘My Baby’. Wande Coal, who reportedly revealed his admiration in a brief press interview after his performance in London recently, said Tonto Dike is that actress he would like to date, when the question was thrown at him.
The report further went on to state that why this could surprise many is because of the fact that the actress has been rumoured to have dated D’Banj, who was like mentor of sort to Wande Coal.
