Actress Wunmi Toriola Brags Amid Chef Tolani Collaboration Saga

Nigerian actress Wunmi Toriola remains unapologetic about her stance regarding Chef Tolani, the well-known social media chef who ignored her collaboration request on Instagram.

The situation gained attention online after Wunmi publicly called out Chef T, who is typically seen as unproblematic. Reports indicate that the actress had reached out to the chef via direct message, proposing a collaboration in exchange for a role in her upcoming movie. However, her message was overlooked, leading to widespread discussion on social media.

In response to the controversy, popular food critic Opeyemi Famakin criticized Wunmi for her remarks about Chef T. Unfazed, the actress fired back with a strong reaction, fueling further debate among netizens.

Wumi wrote:

“I walk my own path, unapologetically and with unwavering focus. I stay in my lane, not out of fear, but out of fierce dedication to my own journey. The noise, the hype, the opinions — they don’t move me.”

“Call it solitude, call it defiance, call it whatever you like. I call it growth forged through struggle, and grit carved from every battle I’ve endured. While others chase validation, I build a life anchored in purpose and resilience.”
