During his appearance on the African A-List podcast, Afeez Owo described Wumi as someone whose on-screen personality mirrors her real-life character.

According to him, “Violence is her comfort zone. Wumi will react when provoked and doesn’t take nonsense, but Mide in real life stays calm even when offended.”

The remark did not sit well with Wumi Toriola, who fired back in a now-deleted Instagram video, branding the comments as “rubbish.” She questioned why personal differences must be aired publicly:

“Must every rift be taken to podcasts? They gave you a mic, and you started saying rubbish. After pepper soup, you started blabbing. Am I a mad woman? If people don’t offend me, will I be angry?”

The actress stressed that despite Afeez’s “unfortunate behaviour,” she had never insulted him and still held respect for him.
