‘Money Generated from My Cook-A-Thon Not Up to Amount We Used to Organize the Event’ – Chef Dammy
Damilola Adeparusi, also known as Chef Dammy, a Nigerian chef, has stated that the proceeds from her cook-a-thon are still far from the amount that was spent to set up and coordinate the record-breaking attempt.
The 22-year-old revealed this while speaking to the press about her plans to cook for 150 hours next month in an attempt to shatter Chef Hilda Baci’s record of 93 hours 11 minutes.
All of the monetary donations she received during and after the event, according to the chef, are still in her personal bank account.
Dammy went on to say that she will now file an application with Guinness World Records to make it official.
Dammy said; “All the money that came in for me is not yet up to the money that was used to start everything. And more than half of the supposed money that came in are still in my personal account.
“Finally, I know there have been many speculations about me not registering this just-concluded cooking, but my team and I have decided to embark on this new challenge next month.
“After the support I have received from fans, well-wishers, and many highly notable individuals in the society. I, Adeparusi Damilola popularly known as Chef Dammy and my team have decided to hold another cook-a-thon programme next month.
“This time, it will be held for a 150-hour, and it will be duly registered with Guinness World Records. Chef Dammy is coming back!”
The Ekiti student stated that after cooking for 120 hours on June 15, she is open to new chances.
She said; “I know the question that has been surrounding the minds of many people online and offline is what is next for Chef Dammy after the 120-hour cook-a-thon? What will become of Chef Dammy after the world has known her and she has been put in the spotlight? Well, Chef Dammy is open to exploration. I am open to new opportunities and new experiences in life.
Now that the world knows what I am capable of doing. I think it’s high time everyone started giving me a chance to explore in diverse ways and capabilities.”
