Nollywood’s long-standing tension between actress Wumi Toriola and veteran actor Afeez Owo has finally been resolved.
The feud, which made headlines in recent months, began after Afeez Owo’s comments during a podcast interview.
Responding jokingly to a question, he hinted that some producers hire Wunmi Toriola when they cannot afford his wife, actress Mide Martins.

He added that while his wife is calm in real life despite her “crazy roles” on screen, Wunmi is “crazy both in film and in reality” because she “doesn’t take nonsense.”
In a TikTok live session, Wunmi fired back, calling Afeez a “shameless old man”.
She joked that she could also hire a husband and put him on a podcast to say rubbish with pepper soup, referencing Afeez sipping soup during the interview.
The online spat drew massive attention, and while Wumi eventually issued a public apology, many fans questioned whether the reconciliation was genuine.
The premiere of Odunlade Adekola’s blockbuster movie Warlord in Lagos finally settled all doubts. In a heartwarming moment captured on video, Wunmi Toriola approached Afeez Owo, went on her knees, and said in Yoruba:
“I am sorry, sir. Please forgive me.”
Afeez Owo immediately lifted her, hugged her, and accepted the apology.
