Food Critic Opeyemi Famakin Reacts to Surprise Food Package From Davido Ahead of New Restaurant Launch

Popular Nigerian food critic Opeyemi Famakin has gone viral after posting his unfiltered reaction to a surprise food package from Afrobeats superstar Davido, who is gearing up to launch his own restaurant.

In a video shared on social media, Famakin—known for his no-nonsense reviews—was visibly stunned and emotional as he unboxed the carefully curated dishes sent to him. He revealed that the package came from Food Concept, who messaged him with news that Davido was opening a restaurant and wanted him to “have a feel of the food.”

The highlight of the video was a personal note from Davido himself. The singer wrote:

“This food was crafted with the same love, energy, and passion I put into my new album. You’re the first to taste it. If you love it, spread the word.”

Famakin, known for giving brutally honest reviews, gave the food a solid 8/10, saying:

“10/10 is for God. 9/10 is mine. So this is an 8/10.”
He did note that one of the dishes could’ve used “a little more salt”, but praised the overall quality and creativity.

Fans were stunned at how calm and respectful the food critic appeared, given his usual sharp-tongued reviews. Some joked that even Famakin “lost his steeze” when Davido came through, while others hailed the singer for his thoughtful approach to launching a food brand with such finesse.

With this surprise rollout, Davido seems to be blending his love for music and food in a new way just like he said, crafted with love and energy. Fans now eagerly await the official restaurant launch, already buzzing with anticipation.
