Her statements apparently displeased many Ghanaians, who shared opposing views about the issue.

Notable amongst them was Mukaase Chic who took to X to express disappointment over Hilda's comments.

Touching on the Jollof Face-off competition Hilda Baci won in 2021 and referenced in that interview, Mukaase who was one of the judges of that competition clarified that the person who represented Ghana was not even a chef.

"First of all, the gentleman you had the competition with wasn’t a CHEF!! I was one of the judges.
Mostly importantly, I am disappointed in this statement because everyone supported you regardless of which country we came from or which jollof we make," her post read.

At the time of writing the report, the post had gathered over 200,000 views and 78 comments.
