Opeyemi Famakin, Cubana Chiefpriest spark social media debate over microwaved burger

Renowned food critic Opeyemi Famakin and entertainment mogul Cubana Chiefpriest have triggered a heated debate across social media, following a viral video where Famakin critiqued a “microwaved burger” served at Chiefpriest’s restaurant.

Famakin, known for his candid food reviews, took to Instagram to share his experience at the food outlet owned by Chiefpriest.

While he praised the ambiance and aesthetics of the establishment, he criticized the quality of the food, specifically noting that the pastries were pre-made and microwaved, which diminished their freshness.

In response, Chiefpriest commented graciously on Famakin’s post, thanking him for the visit and wishing him well.

However, the situation escalated when Famakin accused Chiefpriest of sending him threats over the critical review.

Famakin further fueled the conversation by sharing screenshots of their private exchanges, adding to the ongoing debate on food quality and the culture of reviews in Nigeria.

In his caption, Famakin expressed fear for his safety and his desire to leave Imo State, stating: “I Know A Threat When I See One, I guess Its 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 and it was a different tone in my DM’s.”

In response, Cubana Chiefpriest, on Thursday, took to his Instagram story, accusing Famakin of requesting the wait staff to warm the burgers and questioning why he didn’t just ask them not to.

The celebrity shared CCTV footage with the caption, Cubana Chiefpriest wrote, “You asked them to microwave the burger for you. Stood there and waited for them to do it, then you turned around to sit down and now use it for content.

“If you don’t like burger microwaved, then why did you not stop them, rather you stood there to sh**t the rest of your content as you waited for them to heat up the burger as requested. Thought his review was honest and I appreciated it… then went to blast my staff only for them to tell me he asked them to do so and backed it up with videos.”

The event has since generated mixed reactions on social media.
