During the press conference announcing the alleged success, he declared.
I am deeply humbled and honored to announce that I am now the new world record holder for the cook-a-thon, he said.

Shimane, Japan from September 28 to October 3, 2023.
This investigation was made necessary by the doubts about the authenticity of the certificate of Chef Smith and the unavailability of places from the Guinness World Records, confirming his supposed feat.
A further update from TV3 Ghana regarding the Guinness World Records confirms that the information is false, as they reached Guinness World Records directly via X account.
Another update from Guinness World Records reveals that the marathon cooking record is no longer valid.

According to additional sources, it was reported that Nana Boroo brought security personnel to the venue of the conference over an alleged contract dispute with Smith.
