In a follow-up post on Friday, Foluke revealed Tope’s face in a video expressing gratitude to everyone who had contributed to the surgery costs.

“Hello everyone, my name is Tope Osoba as you already know. I want to say a big thank you to everyone who supported me for my breast surgery.
“I especially want to thank Sister Foluke Daramola for reaching out. I still need your help, guys, there is still aftercare. Show me love like you’ve always done. My birthday is in December, and this support would mean a lot to me.”
Foluke captioned the video, “Behold the face of the colleague I told you all about. She has undergone surgery, and while we didn’t receive much, we are grateful for every contribution.
“Her family members came together, allowing us to cover the surgery costs. But we still need your support for aftercare.”
Fans and celebrities quickly flooded the comment section, expressing their surprise and sending prayers for Tope’s speedy recovery.
