Ghanaians react to the video

Social media users who thronged the video's comments section shared varied opinions.

Adjei Darko stated:

If he had won,would you have been here saying he's not a member of your association? You would have rather associated with him in the glory. Let's not be doing this just because he's had some issues. This statement is useless

Sayh MiMind commented:

So why are you saying it now??? Didn't he do amazingly well in his cooking? Didn't he cook for the number of hours we know??? Do you think he will waste his time and resources if he had known he was dealing with the wrong people???

Shatta Wale mocks Chef Smith

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Shatta Wale has mocked Chef Ebenezer Smith regarding the fake Guinness World Record certificate.

He branded the Chef's Cook-a-thon event in February as "illegal cooking" and also questioned the origin of Chef Smith's GWR certificate.

He jokingly accused Chef Smith of causing fear and panic in Ghana with the stunt he pulled at his press conference at La Palm Beach Hotel on June 2, 2024.
