Afrobeats star Davido has lashed out at Nollywood actress Sarah Martins after she suggested a recent restaurant campaign should have been named after his wife, Chioma. The singer quickly clarified it was a brand promotion, not a real restaurant.
- Sarah Martins posted that Davido’s new restaurant should’ve honoured Chioma
- She called Chioma a fantastic chef and said it would have been a nice tribute
- Davido fired back: “U no get sense … it was a promotional campaign.”
- He demanded that Chioma’s photo be removed from Martin’s page
- The comment went viral, with fans praising Davido’s public defense of his wife
- Davido clarified that the project was a partnership with @foodcourt_app for his album "5ive."
Davido’s swift and sharp response to Sarah Martins reflects a broader trend of celebrities guarding their personal lives closely, especially when it involves their partners. While Martins claimed her comment came from a place of “love,” social media doesn’t often grant the benefit of the doubt, especially when it touches on personal matters. Davido’s defense of Chioma won him applause, reinforcing how sensitive narratives around family and branding can be in pop culture.
With celebrity narratives evolving instantly online, a stray comment, well-intended or not, can quickly spark backlash. And if one thing’s clear: Davido isn’t here for unsolicited advice about his marriage.
