Her remarks came while celebrating fellow chef Hilda Baci’s recent Guinness World Record victory for preparing the largest pot of jollof rice.

Dammy praised Hilda’s resilience and hailed the achievement as a landmark moment for Nigeria’s food industry.

In a statement shared online, she said her priorities lie elsewhere: “I have no plans of cooking the largest pot of beans.

My energy is directed towards my personal growth, brand building, and motivating the next generation of chefs.”

Dammy stressed that her current focus is on expanding her culinary ventures, nurturing her brand, and inspiring young Nigerians passionate about cooking, rather than pursuing record-breaking challenges.
