I have no relations with Chef Smith – Esther Smith clarifies

Legendary Ghanaian musician Esther Smith has clarified that she has no relationship with Chef Smith of Cookathon fame.

She made this known during an interview with Abeiku Santana on Accra-based OKAY FM.

“My father is the one called Smith, who is from Cape Coast. My mother is from Akomadan. I’m an Ashanti because of my mother."

When asked whether she has any close family relations with Chef Smith, she retorted, “Please, I’m not related to Chef Smith in any way. I don’t know him from Adam.”

Ghanaian Millennium Chef Ebenezer Smith announced himself as the new Guinness World Record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.

A citation he presented as evidence of his confirmation said Chef Smith was accorded the record with a time of 802 hours and 25 minutes.

However, it turned out Chef Smith had fooled Ghanaians and that his attempt was not acknowledged by Guinness World Records.

Esther Smith is in Ghana for a twin event after several years away from the music scene in Ghana.

She will be performing in Kumasi at the Bantama Pentecost Church on August 25 and in Accra at the Perez Dome on August 30, 2024.
