Afrobeats superstar Davido has called out Nollywood actress Sarah Martins following her remarks suggesting that a recently announced online restaurant should have been named in honor of his wife, Chioma.
On May 26, 2025, Martins shared a post on Instagram reacting to a promotional campaign for a virtual restaurant launched in collaboration with a food brand. In her post, she expressed her admiration for Davido but noted her disappointment that the restaurant wasn’t named after Chioma, who is known for her culinary skills.
“This is coming from a place of love because I am a huge fan of OBO,” she wrote. “I honestly feel Davido’s restaurant should have been opened for Chioma or probably in her name because we’ve always known her to be a passionate, fantastic chef. I was really anticipating the day Davido would happily announce Chioma’s restaurant—not one in his name. Again, this isn’t hate. I’m happy for them regardless.”
Davido, however, was not pleased with the post and quickly responded in the comments to set the record straight. He clarified that the online restaurant was part of a promotional campaign for his new album and not an actual business venture.
He commented, “U no get sense… no restaurant was opened. That was a promotional campaign with @foodcourt_app for my album 5️⃣… Now take my wife’s picture off your page.
The singer’s blunt response quickly went viral, with fans rallying behind him for defending Chioma and criticizing Martins for what they viewed as unnecessary commentary.
