Afrobeats artiste, Davido, has responded to comments made by Nollywood actress Sarah Martins regarding the naming of a recently announced restaurant campaign.

On May 26, 2025, Martins posted on Instagram expressing her opinion that the restaurant, launched in collaboration with a food brand, should have been named in honour of Davido’s wife, Chioma, rather than after Davido’s new album.

Martins wrote, “This is coming from a place of LOVE because I am a huge fan of OBO. 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.

“So I was really anticipating a day will come when Davido will happily announce Chioma’s (in her name) restaurant, not Davido’s restaurant 🥹. Again, this is not coming from a place of hate and I’m happy for them regardless of who owns the restaurant.”

Davido quickly responded to the post, clarifying that the restaurant was part of a promotional campaign for his album and not a literal restaurant opening.

He wrote in reply, “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 page.”

The exchange attracted significant attention online, with many fans supporting Davido’s response and criticising the actress’s remarks as unnecessary.
