Toriola shared on her Instagram story how she approached the culinary influencer in August last year, wanting to appear on one of her cooking episodes as part of a promotional push for her film debut. However, she never received a reply.

She shared a screenshot of the unopened message, writing:

“Good morning, sis. I have been a lover of your page for a while. I don’t know if any of your cooking episodes is coming soon. Would love to feature as my cinema debut is coming in September—me wearing a t-shirt of it while cooking on one of your episodes. I don’t know if and how it works with you.”

Expressing her dismay, the actress accused Chef T of feeling too large to participate, meaning that the food blogger has distanced herself from others since her popularity.

“Chef T @diaryofakitchenlover feels she doesn’t need anyone again. Na only she grow her grow. Shey na December me sef come out????” she wrote.

In another post, she complimented people who, despite their success, continue to foster healthy cooperation in the entertainment and content creation industries.

“Shout out to great people who have grown and still maintain healthy collaborations…” she added.
