Burna Boy, a well-known Nigerian Afrobeat rapper, has shown his support for chef Hilda Baci as she attempts to break the Guinness World Record.
Hilda Baci has broken the Guinness World Record for the longest individual cooking marathon. Previously held by Lata Tondon, who cooked for 87 hours and 45 minutes in India in 2019, Hilda exceeded this record at 7:46 a.m. on Monday, May 15, 2023, clocking in at 87 hours and 46 minutes.
The 27-year-old chef has been cooking constantly since 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 11, and plans to continue until 4 p.m. today, May 15, to achieve her 96-hour goal.
Supporting the world record holder, Burna Boy wrote, “Go Hilda. We are rooting for you to break that record. And I trust that the food will go sweet and die.”
Hilda has now gone viral, earning an outpouring of love from Nigerians. People worldwide have sent her good wishes over the internet, and politicians and celebrities have contacted or visited her at the Amore Gardens location where she has been cooking.
Numerous firms, like Vesti, Zaron Cosmetics, and many more, have also shown their support by offering aid and encouragement.
