Celebrity food critic, Opeyemi Famakin, has revealed why he would no longer discuss his finances.
He said that he received N80 million tax bill hours after
revealing his income in an interview.
Famakin disclosed that the Lagos State Internal Revenue
Service, LIRS, contacted him through email in less than 48 hours after the
revelation.
He made this known in his latest interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, while discussing his financial journey as a food critic.
Narrating the unexpected encounter and the timing, Famakin
suggested that his public statement prompted the attention from the tax
authority.
“Two days after I mentioned my finances, LIRS sent me an
email, they billed me N80 million, I paid it o. It was like play.
“However, I would never talk about my finances again. Even
though I told them ‘allegedly,’ they said no, but let’s not discuss it. I’m now
a proud tax payer.”
Recall that the food critic had sparked online reactions in
2022, after claiming to be the highest paid food critic in Nigeria with N9
million earning in a bad week.
