Renowned food blogger and YouTuber Chef T, also known as Diary of a Kitchen Lover, has come under fire from popular Nollywood actress Wunmi Toriola for ignoring her direct message.
Toriola shared on her Instagram story how, in August of last year, she had contacted the food influencer to ask to be featured on one of her cooking shows as part of the marketing campaign for her movie debut. But she never heard back.
Sharing a screenshot of the unread message, she had written:
“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.”
The actress expressed her dissatisfaction by accusing Chef T of feeling too big to work with, suggesting that the food blogger now avoids social interaction after becoming successful.
“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 praised those who, despite their success, still maintain healthy collaborations in the entertainment and content creation space.
“Shout out to great people who have grown and still maintain healthy collaborations…” she added.
While Chef T has yet to respond to the call-out, Toriola’s post has sparked conversations online, with fans debating whether influencers should be obligated to respond to every collaboration request.
