Wumi responded with a heavy clapback.
She called Afeez an elderly man who needed to stop unnecessary drama, though she noted that she still respected him despite his unfortunate behaviours.
Her reaction didn’t sit well with many fans, who quickly reminded her about the importance of respecting elders in the industry.

Afeez Owo discusses marriage crisis
TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Afeez Owo spoke about the marital crisis that rocked his union with actress Mide Martins nine years ago.
The actor, who has been married to Mide since 2003, revealed that their 2016 separation was blown out of proportion because of social media.
Back then, fans were surprised when Mide Martins confirmed online that her husband had walked out of their matrimonial home “after a minor argument over the well-being of his children.”
