Chef Failatu: I'm still getting used to being a famous person

Recently, Faila faced severe criticism and widespread condemnation after it was stated that she was dissatisfied that musicians Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale had not been to Tamale to support her during her cook-a-thon.

However, Faila recently stated on Asaase Radio that her detractors should be patient with her as she still gets used to living the life of a superstar.

I'll tell you what, experience really does matter. I have to get used to living a life I have never experienced before. I am simply a regular person like everyone else, therefore I don't expect anyone to demonize me for making a mistake.

Should I have acted like I was already famous to have known certain things, Faila asked? No, it will take time for me to become used to that lifestyle.

Sadly, there is a group of people who, the moment you are in the spotlight, attack you with hate speech, forget all the positive things you have done, and spread misinformation about you. But regrettably, you cannot intimidate me," Faila remarked.

 Though official confirmation from Guinness World Records is still pending, she easily beat the current record held by Irish Chef Alan Fisher (119 hours and 57 minutes) with an astounding 227 hours under her belt.

On January 1, 2024, at midnight, Chef Failatu set out on an ambitious expedition with the initial goal of reaching the finish line early on January 5.

But she persevered, pushing the marathon to January 10 thanks to her unshakeable perseverance and culinary prowess. She won over many admirers with her wide variety of continental and local delicacies throughout the entire ordeal.
