Popular Nigerian food critic Opeyemi Famakin has shared his feelings about his controversial 2023 review of Jazzy's Burger, owned by music executive Don Jazzy.
During a recent interview on the With Chude Podcast, he admitted that while his review aimed to be constructive, the backlash and negative interpretation left him with regrets for Don Jazzy.
Speaking on the backlash, he said, "I did not like my review of Don Jazzy's business, Jazzy Burger. That was one of two reviews, along with the tea room restaurant, that I didn't felt very bad. In this whole world, it's just those two. Jazzy is a businessman, a very positive person who was minding his business. But I wasn't being malicious; it was the internet that took it out of context."
I simply did a review, and I wasn't even bashing him. I said the things I liked and didn't like, and he responded and worked on the things I mentioned, and I reviewed it again.
