Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola is making headlines for her fiery response to fans questioning whether her new cinema movie would be available on platforms like YouTube or Telegram.
Following the premiere of her film, Toriola was taken aback by comments from fans who were unable to afford cinema tickets and inquired about illegal viewing options.
In a fit of anger, she went live on Instagram to express her frustrations, laying heavy curses on those asking about the movie’s availability online. Her outburst, however, did not resonate well with many viewers. Criticism flooded social media, with several users labeling her reaction as “ghetto behavior.”
Comments included remarks about the inappropriateness of her response, with one user suggesting that cursing fans would discourage them from watching her film altogether. Others noted that there are more constructive ways to handle such inquiries and called for her to be more diplomatic, especially considering her role as a public figure and mother.
Wumi Toriola had previously expressed gratitude to her fans for their unwavering support throughout her career. Earlier this month, she celebrated a milestone of 4 million views on one of her YouTube movies in just a month and marked reaching 100k subscribers on the platform in July. Despite the backlash from her recent live video, Toriola’s connection with her audience has been a source of pride and motivation for her in the industry.
