As the online exchange between both public figures intensified, Opeyemi took to social media to share a more serious concern. In a now-viral video, the food critic claimed that people allegedly identifying as members of a particular confraternity had been sending him threatening messages, warning him about “crossing paths” with one of their own.

Opeyemi, who appeared visibly unbothered, described himself as a “Jew boy,” explaining that he does not belong to any cult group or confraternity and is simply a law-abiding civilian. He questioned why such messages were being directed at him over a social media disagreement.

Addressing Nigerians directly, Opeyemi Famakin asked what the true intention behind the messages could be, hinting at the possibilities of physical attack.

In his words:

“Dear Nigerians, if cultists from a particular confratanity are sending you messages, while tagging an individual and stating they will find me for talking about their person, what does it mean? Do they want to Mohbad me? Should I be scared?”

Opeyemi concluded the now-viral video by cursing out the cultist group, further expressing his unbothered state of mind on the ongoing drama.
