Yoruba Nollywood actress, Wumi Toriola, has declared that the decision to apologise to her senior colleague, Afeez Owo, was because she is a true ambassador of culture.
Naijaonpoint recalls that Wumi publicly criticised Afeez in September for discussing her character during an interview on the African A-List podcast.
Afeez had said the actress’s roles in films were “similar to her character in real life”, adding that “violence is her comfort zone”.
The thespian clarified that Wunmi does not tolerate nonsense and would react to issues whenever people push her.
In response, Wumi, in a post shared on her Instagram page, berated Afeeze, describing the interview as rubbish and questioned why every rift will be dragged to a podcast.
However, Wunmi and Afeez recently reconciled at the movie premiere of their colleague, actor Odunlade Adekola.
In a video that emerged online, Wumi approached Afeez, knelt and apologised for insulting him.
She said, “I’m sorry, sir. Please forgive me”.
Afeez, who initially tried to avoid her, lifted her after she went on her knees and hugged her.
In a post on her Instagram page on Tuesday, Wumi stated that she has chosen peace, adding that, even in anger, elders should be off-limits.
She wrote, “I chose to apologise to our Legend because I am a true ambassador of culture, and even in “anger”, our elders should be off limits.
“Also, because our elders deserved calm waters, not raised voices. Once again, to our Fans, friends, no more grudges I have chosen Peace.
“Thank you for your forgiving self @officialafeezowo_fanspage @officialafeezowo.”
