Chef Dammy Trends As As Hilda Baci Breaks Jollof Rice Record

• Celebrity chef Hilda Baci achieved a Guinness World Record for the largest pot of jollof rice.
• Chef Dammy, also known as Adeparausi Damilola, has become a trending topic on social media following Baci’s achievement.
• Fans are humorously speculating whether Chef Dammy will attempt her own Guinness World Record for jollof rice.

As celebrity chef Hilda Baci celebrates her successful Guinness World Record attempt for the largest pot of jollof rice, another familiar figure, Chef Dammy, has resurfaced in online discussions, quickly becoming a trending topic on social media.

Fans and commentators, in a mix of memes and playful jokes, began wondering if the Ekiti-born chef might attempt her own Guinness World Record for jollof rice. However, Dammy, whose full name is Adeparausi Damilola, has made no such plans public.

The renewed attention comes from her well-known 2023 cook-a-thon, held shortly after Hilda Baci set the record for the longest cooking marathon with a 93-hour effort.

Dammy attempted to cook continuously for 120 hours, starting on the same day as Hilda’s event, May 11, but she never submitted an official application to Guinness.

Her attempt quickly went viral, though not for the reasons she had hoped. Instead, it became a source of humor nationwide due to the stark differences in organization, presentation, and overall execution compared to Hilda’s meticulously coordinated event.

Dammy later clarified that her marathon cook-a-thon was meant purely for fun, never anticipating that it would gain widespread attention beyond her local community in Illupeju, Ekiti.

After the viral buzz, she stepped away from the spotlight and enrolled in a formal culinary school to refine her skills.

Now, with Hilda’s latest jollof rice record complete, Nigerians are once again drawing humorous comparisons, joking about a potential “Chef D” parody. Social media feeds are filled with lighthearted posts portraying Dammy as a playful foil to Hilda’s polished, record-breaking achievement.
