While he praised the atmosphere of the eatery and overall design, he expressed his disappointment with the pastries, which he felt should not have been pre-made and microwaved.
In response to Famakin's initial Instagram post, Cubana Chiefpriest responded in the comments, stating that he appreciated the critic's visit, but the discussion about the pastries seems to have escalated. The exchange highlights the ongoing tension between the two individuals.
Fresh food preparation is crucial, and it was highlighted in Famakin's evaluation. For many customers, this is an important part of the eating experience. Social media users have taken notice of the incident and have weighed in on the criticism and its ramifications for the restaurant's reputation.
This conversation demonstrates how difficult it can be to strike a balance between being truthful in your criticism and keeping a strong connection with restaurant owners, particularly in a country with a thriving food culture like Nigeria.
Both speakers appear to be negotiating the details of public opinion and expectations of their separate audiences as the exchange goes on.
He wrote, "Thanks for stopping by, Foodie, stay blessed."
On September 12, 2024, things took a different turn when Famakin posted screenshots of their conversations and claimed that Cubana Chiefpriest had threatened him over his review.
In the screenshot, Chiefpriest told him, "Karma is real, you must pay for whatsoever you sow in life. I don't fight low life's, I leave them to karma. The business you did your wicked review for is owned by a 6 years old."
Famakin, in his caption, voiced a fear for his life and his urge to leave Imo State, saying, "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 an unexpected turn of events, Cubana Chiefpriest attacked Famakin on his Instagram account, saying that it was he who ordered the wait staff to reheat his burgers. The businessman then questioned why the businessman hadn't just told the staff not to.
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.”
In response, Famakin clapped back and emphasized that Chiefpriest's accusations were all lies.
