Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has responded to food critic Opeyemi Famakin after he weighed in on her ongoing rift with celebrity chef, Chef T of Diary of a Kitchen Lover.
Earlier, Wumi had publicly called out Chef T for allegedly ignoring her messages when she sought promotion for her movie, Queen Lateefah, last year. She claimed that the chef no longer needed anyone’s support and had grown independently.
Opeyemi Famakin, in a video, defended Chef T and reprimanded Wumi, a move that did not sit well with the actress. Taking to Instagram, Wumi slammed the food critic, accusing him of seeking attention and lacking a defined career. She claimed that he had done more harm than good to small business owners under the guise of being a self-proclaimed food expert.
She urged him to establish a meaningful career or build a successful business before coming at her.
In her words:
"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.
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.
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.
Sincerely,
Wumi Toriola"
In a follow-up Instagram story, the actress made it clear that she had noticed Opeyemi’s indirect shade at her but would only respond to someone with a real career and proper job description.
"All shade seen from one food critic, but I will respond only to someone with a career and a proper job description."
