She’s a gossiper,She sells gossip’, Makinwa said on the show and even appealed to her listeners notto take the likes of popular US blogger Perez Hilton and Miss Ikeji seriously.

But, just like Perez and TMZ, she’s under regular fire from readers and celebs whothink she often crosses the line. ‘I’m appealing to the younger generation not to take Perez Hilton or Linda Ikeji as a role model’, she added.
