Amidst the controversy surrounding Chef Smith’s Guinness World Record (GWR) issue, Ghanaian gospel singer QueenLet, who is currently based in Germany, is preparing to make her mark in the singing marathon category.
Set to kick off on Sunday, July 21, 2024, QueenLet aims to surpass the current sing-a-thon record and potentially establish a new one.
The singing marathon will take place in Hamburg, Germany, with QueenLet starting the event promptly at 8 PM.
QueenLet has obtained the official endorsement from Guinness World Records which she excitedly shared on her social media platforms.
Most Ghanaians have shown disinterest in QueenLet’s intention to participate in the record-breaking event, largely due to the Chef Smith controversy.
The prevailing sentiment among comments suggests that Ghanaians are not supportive of QueenLet’s intention, especially since all Ghanaians who applied for the GWR record in different fields have been disqualified.
Chef Smith’s case, in particular, stands out as he falsified his own GWR certificate and proclaimed himself as the new title holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
About Chef Smith’s GWR debacle
On July 2, 2024, Chef Smith made headlines by holding a press conference where he proudly declared that he had achieved the title of the longest individual cooking marathon per Guinness World Records (GWR) guidelines.
During the event, he displayed a plaque that he asserted was sent by the record scheme’s organizers, providing evidence to support his assertion.
Nevertheless, there were doubts raised about the authenticity of his claim due to the absence of any official announcement on the GWR website.
Many Ghanaians contended that since GWR had not officially recognized this accomplishment on their platform, Chef Smith’s assertion may be unfounded.
Amidst the uproar caused by this claim, TV3 Ghana, a subsidiary of Media General, reached out to GWR to verify Chef Smith’s statement.
In a message sent directly to TV3 through X, GWR confirmed that the current record holder for the longest individual cooking session is still Alan Fisher from Ireland.
GWR clarified that Chef Smith does not possess the title of the longest cooking marathon and has not been granted any official certificate.
