Popular Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has fired back at controversial food critic Opeyemi Famakin after he defended Chef T (Diary of a Kitchen Lover) amid an ongoing collaboration controversy.
What Sparked the Feud?
The drama unfolded when Wumi Toriola called out Chef T for allegedly snubbing her request for a collaboration on her cooking show. Feeling rejected, the actress took to social media to express her disappointment.
In response, Opeyemi Famakin publicly defended Chef T, describing her as one of the best food bloggers who frequently supports and collaborates with people she respects. He also warned against slandering her, particularly from an actress.
Wumi Toriola Fires Back
Unimpressed by his remarks, Wumi Toriola clapped back at Famakin, accusing him of being a coward for shading her without directly mentioning her name.
“Dear Opeyemi, there’s really no need to act like a coward. My name is Wumi Toriola, and I’m merely responding to your tantrums and desperate need for attention—if it brings you even a shred of relevance, I truly don’t mind.”
She questioned Famakin’s credibility, dismissing his work as a food critic and accusing him of damaging rather than supporting struggling entrepreneurs.
“It’s rather amusing, though, coming from someone without a defined career or any tangible job description. You’ve caused more harm than good to struggling entrepreneurs, all under the guise of being a self-appointed food critic.”
Wumi’s Final Blow
Wumi Toriola didn’t hold back, concluding her statement with a harsh dig at Famakin’s career.
“Next time you feel the urge to come for me, perhaps take a moment to reflect, establish a long-term career, or build a successful business of your own. That way, your words might carry a little more weight.”
Her response has sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans supporting her boldness, while others argue that Famakin was only standing up for Chef T.
