I regret what happened with Don jazzy but I said what I said —Opeyemi Famakin

The enfant terrible of the food industry is my guest today! The fear of Opeyemi Famakin is the beginning of wisdom for chefs, restaurants, food bloggers and content creators everywhere. But how he got here is incredibly inspiring. He tells me that he heard the voice of God literally and clearly telling him this is his path, and so he quit his job as a senior editor in his twenties to do this thing that no one else had ever done on this scale before. After saying no to one high-paying job, he went home and cried. Because he was so afraid he was making a mistake. We also talk about: ● Why he regrets criticising Don Jazzy’s burger brand and what he would do differently now. ● The fight with his mom that has led them to not speak for several years. ● Why he feels hurt when people who know him personally in the food industry attack him on social media. ● Why he is sad only his negative content gets the most virality when he lifts up countless brands - and how he eventually learnt to stop caring about that. ● How he has handled being laughed at, belittled, criticised and cancelled - including how his Instagram page was “permanently disabled” because of his criticism of Igbo ‘oha soup’ and how he survived that scary period and got his page back. It’s Opeyemi Famakin like you’ve never heard him never before.
