In her most recent unboxing video, the mother of Ace-Liam Ankrah—who is recognized by Guinness World Records (GWR) as the youngest male painter in history—described the steps she took to receive and assemble her son’s Chantelle Kuukua Eghan. This shed light on the legitimacy of her son’s accomplishment in the wake of recent scandals involving forged GWR certificates.
Chantelle records the moment a DHL delivery worker gives her the parcel with the certificate in the video.
The authentic Guinness World Records certificate was enclosed in an envelope and secured within the container together with several glass pieces and the frame. The package was meticulously packed. She put the pieces together very carefully to create the framed certificate that she proudly put up on her website.
This follows Chef Smith, who declared himself to be the new record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual not too long ago.
Ghanaian chef Ebenezer Smith, also referred to as Chef Smith, said on July 2, 2024, that he had received a certificate from Guinness World Records for breaking the record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
But Guinness World Records explained the matter in an official answer email, saying: ”
No, that is not at all true. That is not our certificate, and he does not own the GWR title. The actual record holder is Alan Fisher of Ireland, who completed a 119-hour, 57-minute cooking marathon in Matsue, Shimane, Japan, from September 28 to October 3, 2023.
Chef Smith of Ghana “does not hold the GWR title,” according to Guinness World Records, and his certificate is not authentic.
The Ghanaian culinary community as a whole, as well as some of Chef Smith’s supporters, are shocked and dismayed by this news. His alleged accomplishment had been widely hailed as a major turning point for the nation’s culinary arts.
Chantelle wants to reassure people about Ace-Liam’s recognition and the Guinness World Records organization’s handling of the certificate.
