Along with nine other winners, American singer Beyoncé gave an award of £8,000 to a well-known Nigerian eatery in North London.

ITV news reported on Tuesday that Beyoncé's BeyGood Foundation established the Black Parade Small Business Impact Luncheon to "celebrate people, communities, and small businesses impacted by economic inequities worldwide," with Beyoncé pledging £806,400 to help businesses.

Chuku's, a restaurant in Tottenham, was chosen to receive £8,000 from Beyoncé's foundation.

Emeka Frederick, co-founder of Chuku’s, expressing his happiness said, “This grant couldn’t be more welcome. Chuku’s, like other restaurants that don’t have a financial reserve, has been battered by lockdowns and the cost of living crisis.

“Every day, we’re fighting to stay open to make it to our fourth birthday. This money will make that fight a little easier and allow us to continue celebrating Nigerian culture on Tottenham’s High Road for the time being.”

Over 100 businesspeople attended the luncheon at the Four Seasons on Tower Hill for the chance to win £806,000 in prizes.
