In the interview, Esu alleged that Wumi was once on his movie set playing a role when she began raining curses and saying many unprintable things about him.
According to him, while they were shooting, Wumi was supposed to change outfits, but was just sitting down. He said he politely asked her to change so they could continue filming, but she demanded money for lunch, which he gave her N5000.
He, however, claimed Wumi, who had recently shared a lovely video of her son, still didn't move. Esu mentioned that he asked her again so they could wrap up the second scene.
Reacting, Esu claimed that Wumi flared up, began insulting him, and mocking his career. Despite this, Esu said he didn’t take it personally but remained calm and tried to talk to Wumi.

Wumi Toriola involves Saheed’s proteges
Despite his efforts to calm her down, Esu stated that Wunmi continued to abuse him, and his manager and his students had to intervene.
He claimed they lashed out at the actress, and the situation escalated, resulting in the glass of her car being broken. Esu further explained that a lady also dragged and pushed the actress, who later went to her car and left in anger, leaving her driver behind.
Recall that a few weeks ago, Wunmi Toriola reacted to an interview in which Afeez Owo compared her to his wife, Mide.
