Opeyemi Famakin, a well-known Nigerian food critic, has revealed that he has received death threats from Don Jazzy fans.
The threats came after Famakin posted a review of Jazzy’s burger, which he found to be lacking in some areas.
The food critic had previously reviewed the burger positively, but this time around he was critical of the fact that he did not receive a side of fries with the burger, which he felt was overpriced at N12,000.
Famakin’s callout of Jazzy’s business seems to have triggered a strong reaction from the musician’s fans, with some sending him threatening messages. The food critic took to Instagram to express his concerns, saying that he was scared for his life and that this was the first time he had ever received death threats.
He said, “The Number of Death Threats I’ve gotten today from Don Jazzy Fans. For the first time in my life, As a food critic, I am Legit scared for my life. If anything happens to me, it was nice serving y’all. Remember, If I said it, then I meant it”
He added, “Not gonna lie, I do not feel safe with the DMS I’ve been getting. Imagine being shot because of a burger review.
“Apparently my skin is not as thick as I thought it was. Not when my life is involved. After what happened to Aka. e reach to be paranoid”.
