When Davido talks, the streets listen. And this time, the 30BG boss shook the food space not with a new track, but by naming Chicken Republic as one of his best places to eat in Nigeria.
Yes, you read that right, while people were expecting mentions of bougie fine dining joints with candlelit pasta and wine glasses, OBO went straight for vibes and affordability. Respectfully.
Chicken Republic just got a celebrity stamp
In an interview with Isaac Hildin, Davido casually dropped Chicken Republic as one of his go-to food spots. And now? Boom Chicken Republic is trending like a new hit single.
Social media has gone wild, chicken Republic themselves even dropped a response like they were featured on a track:
“Many go go, many go come, we will be there still…” (If you know, you know.)
Fans and mixed feelings
While many fans are showing love and praising Davido for putting the Chief Burger and Big Boyz meal on the map (again), others used the opportunity to air their long-standing food grievances.
The consensus? The chicken is fire, but the rice needs deliverance. Some are even suggesting Chicken Republic should offer discounts to 30BG members talk about loyalty perks!
Still, it’s clear the brand has something most fast food chains wish they had: a loyal cult following and a banging jingle.
From music to meals: Davido the taste maker
Let’s not forget, this isn’t the first time Davido’s food influence has been felt. Years ago, he mentioned the Chief Burger on Snapchat, and fans rushed to try it out. The man doesn’t just make hits he makes food spots trend.
Now, people want Davido’s music playing inside every Chicken Republic branch. If that happens, just know OBO has officially entered the fast food influencer phase of his career.
Final Bite
Only Davido can casually drop Chicken Republic in a convo and cause a nationwide food discourse. Whether you love the rice or loathe it, one thing is clear Chicken Republic is in their influencer era, and their biggest plug is none other than Omo Baba Olowo himself.
So next time you’re thinking of lunch, remember: Davido rates it. Maybe your next meal should be in Chicken Republic. But I don’t know what’s up with the rice saga.
