In response to criticism she faced for not speaking Yoruba, Queen Tobi Phillips, one of the wives of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has decided to address the issue. The ex-beauty queen effectively silenced her critics by sharing a video of herself speaking Yoruba during an interview with BBC Yoruba.

Queen Tobi explained that while Yoruba may not be her first language, whenever she does speak it, she ensures she uses the correct tone and pronunciation. Her statement suggests that despite not being fluent in Yoruba, she still makes an effort to communicate effectively in the language.

“Good morning fam, hope your day is off to a great start. This is for those who’s been trying to troll me about speaking Yoruba in my Previous Videos.

I may not speak Yoruba as my Default Language….but best believe whenever I do, I make sure to Speak it with the Right Tone”.
