Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has once again sparked conversations with her cryptic message online, a subtle shade that left fans and critics guessing.
Currently enjoying a vacation in the United States with her son, the mother of one shared a stunning photo accompanied by a message about the usual year-end tradition of seeking forgiveness. Interestingly, Wumi hinted that this year feels different.
Nobody is begging for forgiveness as New Year is approaching. Everything on obleee. Nobody dey offend anyone again. Na mute we dey mute.
While her post did not directly call out anyone, many speculate it’s a response to recent online trolling and backlash. A few days ago, netizens shamed Wumi for not mending fences with her Nollywood colleagues, Toyin Abraham and Seyi Edun.
Toyin and Seyi recently reconciled after years of estrangement, leaving fans to wonder if Wumi’s silence indicates unresolved tension.
Despite the drama, Wumi continues to thrive professionally. Her cinema debut, Queen Lateefah, broke records as one of Nollywood’s top-performing films. It achieved milestones like:
Highest Grossing Nollywood Release for a Non-Festive Period
7th Highest Grossing Nollywood Film of All Time
Highest Grossing September Release
The movie grossed over ₦360 million at the box office, solidifying Wumi’s place in Nollywood’s elite.
Addressing her fans, Wumi expressed heartfelt gratitude:
To my fans, I see your love, unwavering support, and dedication. Thank you for making Queen Lateefah a success.
While critics may focus on her personal relationships, Wumi Toriola is undeniably winning in her career. Whether her cryptic message was a playful jab or a genuine observation, one thing is clear,Wumi remains unbothered and focused on her journey.
