Actress Wumi Toriola has told Desola Afod to change to her father’s name if she thinks her ex-husband’s name brings disrespect.
Wumi stated this after Desola called out theatre professionals for allegedly disrespecting her by calling her by name.
While revealing that she’s 44 years old, Desola, who did not mention a name, said she was recently disrespected at a celebrity gathering.
Reacting to the development, Wumi Toriola blasted Desola for attacking theatre professionals instead of calling out the individual she had issues with.
While revealing that she had been quiet about Desola’s excesses because of her marriage to a senior colleague, Kunle Afod, Wumi told her to remove Afod from her name and change to her maiden name if she felt disrespected by the name.
“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.”
DAILY POST reports that Desola finally separated from actor Kunle Afod in February 2026 after years of recurring breakup posts and rumours.
