The money we have raised is not enough to pay for my security — Chef Dammy cries out

Published

on

Ekiti celebrity chef, Damilola Adeparusi, who is popularly known as Chef Dammy, has debunked claims that her much-publicised and controversial 120-hour Cook-a-Thon event made her a millionaire.

Chef Dammy began the 120-hour cooking marathon on 9 June and finished on 13 June. The four-day event generated mixed reactions on social media.

The reactions arose because Hilda Baci’s feat was yet to be confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records at the time.

Despite the initial resistance she faced, she received some endorsements, notably, from a Nigerian doctor, Ayo Arojo, who offered her N500,000 and promised to take her on a cooking tour in the U.S.

While addressing speculations about her on Monday, via a video posted on her Instagram page, the Mass Communication undergraduate debunked the news about her receiving substantial earnings during her cooking marathon.

She expressed her gratitude to everyone who had supported her along the road in an interview, but she also noted that the money raised was modest because many of the screenshots that were posted online were of audio funds.

She appealed with anyone considering giving her money to do so by calling or texting her. She continued by saying that her staff and boss were mostly responsible for the costs.
