    “I don’t deserve to live. I’m so sorry,” Chef Smith apologized to the people of Ghana

    Ebenezer Smith, a Ghanaian chef known by the moniker Chef Smith, has issued an apology over his falsified Guinness World Record (GWR) certificate.

    During a press conference held in Accra on Tuesday, Chef Smith claimed he had set a new GWR for the longest individual cooking marathon, clocking in an impressive 802 hours and 25 minutes.

    However, upon verification, GWR confirmed that the certificate Chef Smith displayed did not come from them. According to GWR, “The current and true record holder is: The longest cooking marathon (individual) is 119 hr 57 min 16 sec and was achieved by Alan Fisher (Ireland) in Matsue, Shimane, Japan, from 28 September to 3 October 2023.”

    In a tearful interview with Serwaa Amihere on GHOne TV, Chef Smith apologized to Ghanaians and the international community for the deception and disgrace his actions had caused.

    “I want to apologize deeply on this significant platform. To the world, I am truly sorry. In my desperation to make a living, I made a grave mistake. I don’t deserve to live. I beg for forgiveness from the entire nation,” he pleaded.

    At 820 hours today, Ghanaian chef Ebenezer Smith, also referred to as Chef Smith, came to an end of the longest cooking marathon ever completed by one person. 

    Chef Smith started his attempt to set a new Guinness World Record on February 1, 2024, with the goal of becoming the record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.

    Despite his earlier complaints about the lack of attendance at his cook-a-thon, last night’s event went extremely well, featuring a star-studded lineup that included Praye Tietia, Yaw Tog, Amerado, Kofi Jamar, and Asakaa Boys.

    Many celebrities passed through the Amadia Shopping Centre at Spintex during this incredible challenge, including Kwaku Manu, Clemento Suarez, and Nana Ama McBrown, among many others, to help Chef Smith achieve the amazing feat. 

    Chef Smith aims to beat the official 119-hour record set by Alan Fisher.

    Officially announcing the end of his cookathon, he wrote on Instagram, “Happy Independence Day Everyone!Thank You all for the love. This is for us this is for Ghana ????????”.
