After getting a lot of support from many Ghanaians during her cookathon that last for 227 hours at the Modern City Hotel, Chef Faila appears to have stepped on some wrong toes just a day after.
A section of social media users have been lashing out at her over certain comments she passed during an interview she granted Joy Prime in the early hours of Friday, January 12, 2024.
In the interview, Chef Failatu Abdul-Razak expressed disappointment over the failure of Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Samini, and other popular Ghanaian musicians to attend her Cook-A-Thon Guinness World Record attempt in Tamale.
According to her, she expected Shatta Wale to be on the grounds to support her because the boss of Shatta Movement had earlier said on his Facebook page that he would be visiting Chef Faila just as she did for for Afua Asantewaa Aduonum during her singathon.
Chef Faila during the interview said: “If it was something bad about the North, everyone would have been talking about it. Not a single big musician showed up for North on this project. Not Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Samini, etc.”
“It was Kwabena Kwabena who passed through. There were a lot of expectations that we were going to see some of the artistes we support so much from this angle show up and support us. Believe me, if I see Stonebwoy or Shatta Wale’s song, I can sing it to amaze you, but nobody showed up for us, and so they owe us an apology,” Chef Faila added.
Well, the comment has infuriated many, including some of the people who turned up in their numbers to support her as many of then feel she was being ungrateful and entitled.
According to some of these netizens, she should rather praise those who came out to support her and stop attacking those who could not make it to the venue.
