Popular Nollywood actress, Wumi Toriola has lashed out at her colleague Kunle Afod’s wife, Desola Afod, over her recent comments about theatre professionals.
This comes after Desola allegedly criticised theatre professionals for disrespecting her by addressing her by name.
Reacting to the development, Wumi Toriola, who appears to have had previous issues with Kunle Afod, called out Desola for what she described as disrespect towards the theatre industry.
The actress said: “If you think that the name Afod is giving you problems and disrespect, you can change to your father’s name or use something else like Desola Kilanko. You did a prior video, and this is a response to it. You saying ‘awon oni theater’ (theatre professionals), I find it very insulting and disrespectful.
“If you have issues with anybody, kindly put their names, pictures or mention them in your videos. Saying theatre people, that’s the body that covers what I have worked for and earn from. I will not allow you to disrespect it. If other people from other places are calling us names, then, not from you.
“I remember the other time I had issues with one of my colleagues, you put your mouth in it, and I kept quiet because I didn’t want to disrespect your ex-husband at that time. But this is getting too much. If you have an issue with anyone, please call them out. It’s getting unbearable. You’re not the only raze person. I was also born in the same Agege where you claimed you were born. We are all packaging because of fame.”
Meanwhile, Kunle Afod and Desola have reportedly faced marital challenges following recurring rumours of a breakup, which they have both addressed publicly.
Desola reportedly separated from Kunle Afod in February 2026 after years of speculation about their marriage.
