Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has hit back at her senior colleague, Afeez Owo, following his latest interview.
In an interview with Behind The Fame – African List, the husband of Mide Martins said Wumi only reacts to things when people push her. Afeez clarified that if people don’t look for Wumi’s trouble, she wouldn’t react, but she does not take nonsense.
Not pleased with his statement, Wumi lashed out at him in a since-deleted video, questioning if she should rent a husband to hold the mic and spoil things. She noted how Afeez is eldërly and, as such, should stop his drama.
She questioned if she would lash out at people if they didn’t offend her and if she had ever insulted him. Toriola noted how, despite his unfortunate behaviours, he still respects her.
“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? Have I ever insulted you before? Despite all your unfortunate behaviours, I still respect you.”
Her statement didn’t sit well with netizens, who chided her for insulting him.
