Davido has clapped back sharply at Nollywood actress Sarah Martins after she suggested that he should have opened a restaurant for his wife, Chioma Rowland. The singer didn’t mince words in his response, igniting a heated exchange that quickly caught fire on social media.
The drama began on May 27, 2025, when Sarah Martins made a public post implying that Chioma’s culinary skills deserved to be monetized, stating: “Chioma can cook, and Davido has the money — what’s stopping him from opening a fine restaurant for her?” The statement, intended as advice, didn’t sit well with Davido, who swiftly labeled it “unsolicited nonsense.”
In a direct response shared on his Instagram Story, Davido wrote, “You don’t know me or my family. Don’t use my wife for engagement. Try that clout-chasing stunt again and you’ll get blocked for life.” His words were blunt, drawing a clear line between public commentary and what he considers a personal attack masked as suggestion.
Fans were quick to take sides. While some agreed with Sarah Martins, saying her comment was innocent and entrepreneurial, others backed Davido, arguing that the actress overstepped by commenting on the internal affairs of someone else’s marriage. The tension exposed an ongoing debate around celebrity boundaries and entitlement to their personal lives.
Sarah later issued a follow-up post defending her stance, claiming she meant no harm and was only “speaking like a fan who admires Chioma’s talent.” However, Davido’s camp remained silent after the second post, making it clear the matter wasn’t up for discussion.
Chioma, known for maintaining a low profile despite her high-profile marriage, has not responded publicly. Many fans believe the singer’s swift defense reflects his renewed focus on family following their recent wedding and the birth of their twins.
With celebrity culture in Nigeria becoming increasingly personal and interactive, the Davido–Sarah Martins clash is yet another reminder that not every opinion is welcome—even when it comes dressed as admiration.
