Chef Smith
Ghanaian Chef, Ebenezer Smith, popularly known as Chef Smith, has apologised to Ghanaians and the world at large for presenting a fake Guinness World Record (GWR) certificate.
Additionally, the embattled Chef also faked some International Chef Association certificate which he admitted and apologised for same.
Last Tuesday, Chef Smith at a press conference in Accra claimed to be the current GWR holder for the longest individual cooking marathon, with a remarkable duration of 802 hours and 25 minutes after attempting same a couple of months ago.
It was later, however, discovered that Chef Smith only deceived Ghanaians since he had not received the said certificate from the GWR, neither was his application accepted to engage in a cook-a-thon.
The GWR clarified, “the current and true current record holder is: The longest cooking marathon (individual) is 119 hrs 57 min 16 sec and was achieved by Alan Fisher (Ireland) in Matsue, Shimane, Japan, from September 28 to October 3, 2023.”
Following social media outburst, Chef Smith, who was speaking with Serwaa Amihere on GHOne TV in tears, apologised to Ghanaians and the world at large for the embarrassment and lies.
“I render a very big apology on this big platform, and I apologise to the world that I am so sorry. I don’t deserve to live. But in my quest to earn a living, it has landed me in shame I am sorry, and I beg the entire nation,” he expressed.
He also went on to record a video which had since gone viral on social media, in the same tearful mood, apologising for his mistake and asking for forgiveness.
Joining him to render apologies to Ghanaians was gospel musician, Nacee, who used his social media to promote Chef Smith during his fake attempt.
The musician went on his knees during a show at Peace Fm on Monday to plead with Ghanaians to forgive the Chef as he deserved a second chance.
Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
