Popular Nollywood actress, Wumi Toriola is furious with veteran actor and movie director, Afeez Owo for comparing her to his wife, Mide Martins.
Trouble started after Afeez Owo, in a recent interview, claimed that Wumi Toriola often portrays her real-life personality – “violence” in movies. He added that, unlike Wumi, his wife is not as violent in real life as she appears on screen.
Afeez said; “Mide’s character in the movie is totally different from real life, but Wumi’s movie role is close to her character in real life. Violence is her comfort zone.
“Wumi will react when provoked and she doesn’t take nonsense from anyone. But if you offend Mide in real life, she will remain calm.”
Reacting to the interview, Wumi Toriola, in a video circulating on social media, slammed Afeez Owo and described his remarks as “rubbish.”
She said; “Must every rift be taken to podcasts? They gave you a mic, and you started saying rubbish. After they entertained you with pepper soup, you started blabbing.”
“Am I a mad woman? If people don’t offend me, will I be angry? I have never insulted you before. I still respect you despite your unfortunate behaviour.”
