Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has shared her candid thoughts on Afrobeats superstar Davido’s latest business venture, sparking conversation across social media. The singer recently unveiled his upscale dining spot, 5ive Restaurant, in celebration of his 2025 album titled 5ive.
While fans have applauded the singer’s entrepreneurial move, Sarah Martins believes the restaurant could have held deeper sentimental value if it had been named after Davido’s wife, Chioma.
Taking to her social media, the outspoken actress explained that Chioma’s well-known culinary skills and passion for cooking would have made her the perfect face of the new restaurant. She made it clear her comment came from a place of admiration, not criticism.
Her words:
“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. 5ive star restaurant by chef chi would have made more sense and will still promote the 5ive star album by OBO because even satan loves Chioma. Chioma I love you and please do not misunderstand this post.”
Sarah also used the moment to promote her new project, adding:
“WAR OR PEACE drops by 5pm tomorrow on Sarah Martins TV on YouTube.”
Her remarks have sparked mixed reactions, with some agreeing with her heartfelt take, while others argue Davido has every right to brand his projects as he sees fit. Either way, Sarah’s post has added a fresh twist to the buzz surrounding the launch of 5ive Restaurant.
