Breaking News: Controversy Erupts Between Food Critic and Restaurant Owner
A heated dispute has unfolded on social media between renowned food critic, Famakin, and popular restaurant owner, Cubana Chief Priest. The controversy began when Famakin visited Chief Priest’s restaurant and posted a review on Instagram, highlighting both the positives and negatives of his experience.
In his review, Famakin praised the restaurant’s aesthetic appeal but criticized the pastries, stating that they were pre-made and microwaved. Chief Priest responded to the review, thanking Famakin for his feedback and expressing gratitude for his visit.
However, things took a dramatic turn when Famakin alleged that Chief Priest threatened him over his review, posting screenshots of their conversations to support his claim. In the screenshots, Chief Priest is seen warning Famakin that "karma is real" and that he will "pay for whatsoever you sow in life."
Famakin responded by expressing fear for his life and announcing his intention to leave Imo State, where the restaurant is located. He also accused Chief Priest of being polite in the comment section but using a different tone in their private messages.
In a surprising twist, Chief Priest took to his Instagram story to slam Famakin, claiming that he was the one who asked the wait staff to warm his burgers. He accused Famakin of being dishonest and using his review as a way to create content.
Chief Priest provided videos from the restaurant’s staff to back up his claims, stating that Famakin had asked them to microwave his burger and then waited for them to do so before taking photos for his review.
Famakin has since responded, denying Chief Priest’s accusations and calling them lies. The controversy has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many users taking sides and expressing their opinions on the matter.
