Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has fired back at her senior colleague, Afeez Owo, after he made remarks about her personality in a recent interview.
During a chat on Behind The Fame – African List, Afeez, who is married to actress Mide Martins, described Wumi as someone who only reacts when provoked. According to him, she doesn’t tolerate nonsense but would not react if people didn’t look for her trouble.
His statement, however, did not sit well with Wumi, who took to social media in a now-deleted video to vent her displeasure.
In the clip, she sarcastically asked if she should “rent a husband to hold the mic and spoil things,” a shade many fans believe was directed at Afeez. She further urged him to stop dragging rifts into podcasts.
Wumi said:
“So should we also go and rent a husband to hold the mic and spoil things? The person this sub is for knows it already. You’re an elder, please stop this. Must every rift now be dragged to podcasts? They gave you a mic, and you started talking rubbish. They gave you pepper soup, and you began blabbing. Am I a mad woman? Will I lash out if people don’t offend me? Despite all your unfortunate behaviours, I still respect you.”
Her fiery reaction has since triggered mixed reactions online. While some social media users criticised her tone, insisting Afeez’s words were harmless, others argued that she overreacted and should learn to ignore such comments.
