  "account": "Actress Wumi Toriola has confronted Desola Afod, urging her to change her name to her father's if she believes her ex-husband's name, Afod, brings disrespect. Wumi made this statement after Desola criticized theatre professionals for allegedly disrespecting her. Desola, who is 44 years old, claimed she was recently disrespected at a celebrity event, though she did not name the specific individual. Wumi, who has kept quiet about Desola's actions due to her marriage to Kunle Afod, advised Desola to drop the Afod part of her name and use her maiden name or another alternative if she feels disrespected by the name. Wumi expressed that Desola's comment about \"awon oni theater\" (theatre professionals) was insulting and disrespectful, as it undermines the body that supports her work. She emphasized that if Desola had a problem with someone, she should name them in her videos instead of generalizing an entire profession. Wumi recalled a previous disagreement with a colleague and wished Desola would call out specific individuals rather than targeting a group. Desola and Kunle Afod separated in February 2026 after several breakups and rumors.",
