Popular food critic Famakin calls out Cubana Chiefpriest for allegedly threatening his life
Food critic Opeyemi Famakin has taken to social media to accuse entertainment mogul Cubana Chiefpriest of threatening him over a recent restaurant review.
The incident unfolded after Famakin visited Chiefpriest’s restaurant in Imo State on September 11, 2024, and shared his review online.
In his Instagram post, Famakin praised the restaurant’s ambiance and aesthetics but critiqued the quality of the pastries, noting that they appeared to be pre-made and microwaved. Chiefpriest responded in the comments section, thanking Famakin for his visit and wishing him well.
However, the situation escalated on September 12, 2024, when Famakin alleged that Chiefpriest had threatened him via direct message. To support his claim, Famakin shared screenshots of their conversation. In the messages, Chiefpriest wrote, “Karma is real, you must pay for whatever you sow in life. I don’t fight lowlifes, I leave them to karma. The business you did your wicked review for is owned by a 6-year-old.”
Famakin, alarmed by the messages, took to Instagram to express his concerns. He wrote, “I know a threat when I see one. I guess it’s time to leave Imo State ASAP. If anything happens to me while I am here, well, you know who to hold. I love how he was polite in the comment section for the world to see, but it was a different tone in my DMs.”
The accusations have sparked a heated discussion on social media, with many users weighing in on the matter.
The situation has drawn attention to the potential risks faced by critics and the importance of maintaining professional conduct in public and private interactions.
