Africa’s self-proclaimed top food critic, Opeyemi Famakin, is under fire online after posting a video of his ₦20 million perfume collection with the bold claim: “No man smells better than me in Lagos.” What began as fragrance flex quickly turned into a scent of scandal.
- Opeyemi's video, captioned with confidence, went viral but drew sharp criticism from followers and perfume experts.
- A UK-based fragrance influencer accused him of showing off counterfeit perfumes, saying they differ from the originals she receives from brands.
- Opeyemi replied dismissively: “You’re a smart babe, sell your market make I sell my market.”
- She clarified that she’s not a vendor, just “passing information” as a content creator.
- Opeyemi later doubled down, insisting only people in Abuja smell better, before jokingly calling himself the “self-acclaimed best smelling man in Lagos.”
- His recent rise in controversy began earlier in March 2024, when he infamously insulted Nigerian staples like Oha soup, Jollof rice, and Ondo cuisine
