Popular Nigerian food critic Opeyemi Famakin has dragged actress Wumi Toriola for calling out Chef T of Diary of a Kitchen Lover over a failed collaboration request.
Wumi, in an Instagram post, called out the celebrity chef for ignoring her collaboration request and accused her of being proud.
Wumi Toriola had taken to social media to call out popular food blogger Chef T, Aka Diary of a Kitchen Lover, for not responding to her collaboration request.
On March 13, 2025, the Nollywood actress posted an old screenshot of an Instagram conversation between herself and the food blogger in August 2024, showing that she had asked Chef T for a collaboration.
However, her request remained unresponded to, an action that Toriola did not take lightly.
The screenshot was posted with the caption:
“Diaryofakitchenlover feels like she doesn’t need anyone again, na only she grow her grow. Shey na December me sef come out?”
Reacting to the actress in a video post on Instagram, Famakin backed Chef T and condemned Toriola’s decision to publicly drag her.
While criticizing Toriola for her sense of entitlement, Famakin pointed out that the actress claimed to be Chef T’s fan but was quick to call her out simply for ignoring her request.

“We don’t do Chef T slander here. She’s a sweetheart and is positively contributing to the Nigerian and African food space. I’m not going to stand by and watch an actress who didn’t get a collaboration drag her name. We don’t do that here.
“It’s better to collaborate with people you genuinely like because most of the people reaching out to you for collaborations don’t really like you. This actress shared a screenshot where she introduced herself as a fan, but because Chef T didn’t respond, she suddenly started dragging her.”
This development comes after the viral news of Funke Akindele unfollowing Chef T and other social media influencers for not promoting her movie.
