Wumi Toriola Responds to Outfit Backlash at Birthday Party

Actress Wumi Toriola addressed significant backlash following a video from Habeeb Alagbe's 40th birthday party, held in Ikeja, Lagos, on September 12. The video showcased Toriola in a bedazzled white dress with a deep plunging neckline, which drew attention from media personnel.

Toriola expressed irritation towards the media for zooming in on her chest and threatened to curse anyone who continued to do so. The clip gained traction on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), where opinions were divided; some supported Toriola, while others felt her outfit warranted the attention.

On September 13, she responded on X, sharing clearer images of her outfit and humorously addressing a fellow attendee who wore a similar ensemble. Toriola's response indicates her intent to embrace the controversy rather than retreat from it.

The event was attended by several Yoruba Nollywood personalities, including Peju Ogunmola, Mama Ereko, Faithia Williams, Mide Martins, Wunmi Ajiboye, and Afeez Owo.
