Food critic Opeyemi Famakin has revealed one of his regrets.

According to him, he regrets his negative review of Jazzy's burger owned by music executive, Don Jazzy.

Recall that the review saw him face criticism in 2023.

In a discussion on the ‘With Chude’ Podcast, Famakin shared that the adverse reaction to his review affected him emotionally, especially given his respect for Don Jazzy.

Despite the negative feedback, Famakin acknowledged that Don Jazzy was receptive to his suggestions and implemented important changes to his establishment.

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.”

“The way it trended and the backlash made it feel like I was coming for this honest person who is an angel and helps people. It felt like I was chasing clout, but I was doing it to help his business, and he listened. The specific things I asked him to work on, he did. But everyone else online was being so nice about it; how would he have grown? They were lying to him, and how would he have known?“That one pained me because I love Don Jazzy, and he’d have felt like I was a clout chaser who wanted to ruin his business. It pained me”.
