Now The Real Thieves And Scammers Puts On Suit And Appears Clean – Adwoa Animah Reacts to Chef Smith GWR Hoax
Adwoa Animah, a Ghanaian businesswoman and CEO of FeetBya6, has taken to Facebook to express her ire at Millennium Chef Smith for misleading the public about his fictitious Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
According to Adwoa Animah, “this is not his first time he’s been in the news for the bad reasons”.
Animah continued to say that “Now the real thieves, fraud and wicked people put on suit, have nice hair cuts and appear very clean and responsible”.
Following the announcement that Chef Smith’s GWR record breaking was a fraud, there was a stir on Ghanaian social media.
Chef Smith and his management held a press conference on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, to reveal the outcome of his long-running bid to set a Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon (individual).
The Ghanaian media extensively covered his announcement that he is the new record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual on the Guinness World Record.
On February 1, 2024, Chef Ebenezer Smith began his cook-a-thon with the intention of breaking the existing record. He recorded 800 hours of cooking in his bid.
Chef Smith GWR Certification is Fake
A few hours after his GWR record was made public, a number of Ghanaian internet users who had doubts about his claim began attentively examining the certification.
A few individuals believed that Chef Smith’s certificate was not as large as the GWR standard certificate sheet. Furthermore, the certificate’s inscription did not follow the Guinness World Record’s precise format and moreover, the official website of the GWR has nothing about Chef Smith.

When the dispute over Smith’s GWR achievement broke out on social media, a few Ghanaian journalists went to Guiness World Records for clarification.
In a reply to a mail sent by Joy FM’s Kwame Dadzie, a PR executive of the Guinness World Records Alina Polianskaya revealed that Chef Smith’s assertion is a hoax.
“No, this is not true. He does not hold the GWR title, and that is not our certificate. The current and true holder is: the longest cooking marathon (individual) is 119 hours 57 mins 16 secs and was achieved by Alan Fisher (Ireland) in Matsue, Shimane, Japan, from 28 September to 3 October 2023,” Alina writes
In a separate communication between Graphic Showbi and Guiness World Records, PR Manager Madalyn Biefield clarified that no application was received on Chef Smith’s behalf, and the GWR is not even aware of his endeavor.
