Amid the ongoing dispute between actress Wumi Toriola and Chef T of Diaryofakitchenlover, food critic Opeyemi Famakin has weighed in, defending Chef T. He stated that she collaborates only with those she likes and made it clear he would not support anyone attacking her.
In response, Wumi Toriola took to Instagram to express her displeasure. Addressing Famakin directly, she accused him of seeking attention and lacking a defined career. She criticized his role as a food critic, claiming he has done more harm than good to struggling entrepreneurs. She advised him to focus on building a successful career before attempting to challenge her, suggesting that only then would his words hold weight.
In her words,
Dear Opeyemi, Theres really no need to act like a coward. My name is Wumi Toriola and im 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 descripyion. You’ve caused more harm than good to struggling entrepreneurs, all under the guise of bring 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 on your own. That way, your words might carry a little more weight.
