Ghanaian Chef Ebenezer Smith, also known as Chef Smith, recently admitted during an interview on GHOne that he falsified a Guinness World Record (GWR) certificate.He confessed to altering an online GWR certificate in an attempt to claim the record for the longest individual cooking marathon, purportedly lasting 820 hours.In the interview, Chef Smith asserted, “I earn GHC1,500 to 2000 as a chef. It's too small for me. I have families to feed, wife and kids.”

When asked about his future plans, he expressed a willingness to undertake another cooking marathon under legitimate circumstances, pledging to give his best effort if given the opportunity.

Guinness World Records, however, clarified that they had no record of Chef Smith's application or attempt for such a title, casting doubt on the authenticity of the certificate in question. The revelation sparked public criticism and scrutiny.

Chef Smith has since issued an apology for his actions.
