The video immediately sparked excitement online, with many people expressing how much they missed her cooking content.
Chef Chi last shared this kind of content in 2022 before she went off social media following a tragic personal loss. She later made a brief return in 2025 when she shared photos after her wedding to Nigerian music star Davido, after which she went quiet again.
Now fully back in 2026, the chef did not just return with photos but went straight back to what she loves doing and that many fans love her for. In the video, she carefully showed each step of the process, from selecting and properly cleaning the ingredients to cooking and plating the final dish.
Popular skit maker Broda Shaggi jokingly asked her to cook a specified meal next, while her husband Davido also joined the moment by dropping several “in love” emojis under the post.
The warm reception online shows just how much Chef Chi’s audience missed her presence and culinary creativity.

Davido Denies Owing Wedding Planner $50,000
Legit.ng reported that the Nigerian Afrobeat star Davido responded to a viral online claim that he owed Funke Bucknor-Obruthe, the event planner for his wedding to Chioma, $50,000. The rumour was based on a screenshot circulating on social media alleging Funke had threatened legal action over unpaid fees.
Both Funke Bucknor and Davido dismissed the claims as false and misleading. Funke said the messages did not come from her or her official accounts, and Davido called the allegation “crazy” in his reaction on X, making it clear he had no such debt.
