Nigerian food critic Opeyemi Famakin has accused Cubana Chief Priest, a popular socialite, of threatening him following a review of his restaurant.
Famakin had visited the restaurant in Imo State and shared his thoughts on both the positive and negative aspects of the dining experience.
While he praised the ambiance and the quality of some local dishes, he criticized the preparation of the burger, noting that it had been microwaved, which compromised its flavor. He suggested using alternatives such as an oven or heated lamps for better food presentation.
Following this review, Cubana Chief Priest responded politely in the comment section, thanking Famakin for visiting. However, in a private message, the tone shifted dramatically, with Chief Priest allegedly implying that karma would deal with Famakin, though he wouldn’t act against him personally.
Reactions
Famakin interpreted this message as a veiled threat and expressed concern for his safety, stating, “If anything happens to me, you know who to hold.”
The incident has sparked widespread conversation, particularly on social media, as fans and the public weigh in on the potential seriousness of the accusation and its implications.
