In a statement posted on X, Baci said she was shocked that the private clip was reposted on multiple platforms and became the basis for mocking her younger brother.

According to her, some social media users left insulting comments, while others digitally altered photographs of the teenager to make him appear bigger in an attempt to generate laughs.

Baci criticised adults who participated in ridiculing a minor, stressing that her brother had done nothing wrong apart from appearing in a humorous video with his sister.

She described him as a kind, loved and promising young boy, insisting that online ridicule would not define who he is or affect his worth.

Calling for greater responsibility on social media, Baci reminded users that there is a real teenager behind the viral posts who is capable of seeing the hurtful comments being made about him.

“If your idea of entertainment is tearing down a child, then that’s a reflection of your character, not his,” she wrote.

She urged people to think carefully before posting insults or sharing manipulated images, encouraging internet users to show more empathy and compassion when engaging with content involving children.

Baci shared a heartfelt message on Instagram congratulating Akinwunmi and the team at Dapper Group after they secured a Guinness World Record for the largest orchestra assembled for an Afrobeats concert.

The milestone was achieved during the Trench Symphony concert held in Lagos on December 16, 2025. The event featured 85 musicians performing together in a large orchestral arrangement built around an Afrobeats composition.

The performance took place at the Balmoral Convention Centre and included a musical director, a lead vocalist, a choir, dancers and dozens of instrumentalists performing in synchrony.

By assembling 85 musicians, the concert set a new record for the largest orchestra performing Afrobeats live.

In her message accompanying video clips from the performance, Baci praised the dedication behind the achievement. She reflected on the effort, risks and persistence that went into turning the vision into reality.

According to the chef, watching the project evolve into a globally recognised milestone was a proud moment for her.

She described the achievement as a testament to the resilience and passion of the team, noting that the initiative created a platform that supports talent and promotes the culture of Afrobeats.

Baci also hinted at their shared future, joking that their children would one day hear the story of both parents holding Guinness World Records.

The chef and Akinwunmi have been romantically linked for several years and occasionally share moments from their personal and professional lives on social media. Their posts often celebrate both their relationship and their respective accomplishments.

Baci prepared a staggering 8,780 kilograms of Nigerian-style jollof rice, earning recognition not only for the largest serving of Nigerian jollof rice but also for the largest rice serving globally.

Reflecting on the achievement, she expressed deep gratitude and credited God for the milestone. “Third time. Not because I planned it. Not because I felt ready. But because God allowed it,” Baci wrote.

She shared her emotional journey, highlighting the nerves, faith, sacrifice, and prayers that went into achieving the record. “Unboxing this record pack felt like reliving the moment all over again… I’m just deeply grateful,” she added.

This latest accolade builds on her earlier Guinness World Record in 2023, when she set the record for the longest cooking marathon, preparing meals continuously for 93 hours and 11 minutes.

Baci’s achievements have cemented her reputation as one of Nigeria’s most celebrated chefs, inspiring many in the culinary world.

Guinness World Records confirmed that Baci prepared 8,780kg (19,356 pounds) of jollof rice during a Lagos cookout in September, setting a new global benchmark.

This accomplishment comes just over a year after she earned her first Guinness title in May 2023 for completing a 93-hour, 11-minute cooking marathon, making her Nigeria’s first chef to hold multiple Guinness World Records.

Sharing her achievement on Instagram, Baci described the recognition as a story of “faith, fire, and history,” celebrating both records as a testament to Nigeria’s creativity and culinary excellence.

“Our plaques are finally here! Two records. Two plaques. One story of faith, fire, and history. Twice, God showed up for me. Twice, we made history for Nigeria,” she wrote.

She added that the feat reached over five billion people globally and expressed gratitude to her co-chef Gino for collaborating on the historic attempt.

“I’m a two-time world record holder, someone pinch me,” Baci wrote, quoting Isaiah 61:7: “Instead of shame, you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance.”

The jollof rice event drew a crowd of over 20,000 food lovers, celebrities, and influencers. In line with Guinness verification standards, every portion of the massive dish was distributed to guests and charitable organisations.

Baci’s double recognition cements her place as one of Nigeria’s most celebrated chefs, showcasing the nation’s talent on the global culinary stage.

In a video interview shared on X on Tuesday, Hilda described how the incident rattled her as she worked to cook the largest single serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice.

“When we had the mishap with the pot, my first few seconds, my heart was in my hands. I was very scared, very worried,” she said, adding that her focus quickly shifted from the record itself to ensuring people were fed.

The mishap occurred on September 12 at the World Jollof Festival in Lagos, where she and her team prepared nearly 8,780 kilograms of rice in a six-metre-wide pot designed to hold 23,000 litres. As the crane lifted the pot for weighing, one side gave way and the support legs collapsed, though the food inside remained secure.

Reflecting on the setback, Hilda said the collapse ultimately helped distribution, making it easier for thousands of attendees to taste the dish. “I would say it was a good thing that the pot caved because it made food distribution a lot easier… it was a blessing in disguise,” she explained.

Her team submitted photos and video evidence to Guinness World Records, which later confirmed her achievement as the largest pot of jollof rice ever cooked. Hilda recalled how swiftly they acted to keep the process credible and properly documented, turning what began as a tense moment into a celebrated triumph.

On Monday, Guinness officially certified Hilda for preparing the world’s largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice, a dish weighing 8,780 kilograms, during a record-breaking cookout at Eko Hotel, Lagos, last Friday.

“Congratulations to Hilda Baci and Gino for setting a new world record with the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice. It is yet another reminder that our people can break records, set standards, and inspire the world,” he wrote.

Atiku went further to commend Nigerians across the globe whose achievements in diverse industries continue to position the country as a hub of creativity and innovation.

For Hilda, the milestone marks another chapter in a growing legacy. In 2023, she earned global attention after setting a Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon. With this latest recognition, she cements her status as one of Nigeria’s most celebrated culinary figures.

Her feat has sparked fresh pride among Nigerians, many of whom regard jollof rice as a cultural symbol and a unifying delicacy.

In an emotional Instagram post, Odetola described the backlash as “heartbreaking when negativity overshadows greatness”. She emphasized that achieving such a milestone requires not only courage but also mental, emotional, psychological, and financial strength.

“It takes real courage to attempt something extraordinary. It takes courage to dream big. But bringing that dream into reality takes even more than courage. It demands a whole lot of preparedness mentally, psychologically, emotionally, and financially,” she wrote.

Odetola questioned why some people feel unsettled by another person’s success, particularly a woman’s, urging critics to self-reflect rather than tear others down.

“Go somewhere private, where no one can distract you. Place your right hand on your left chest. That’s where your heart beats. Now ask yourself, slowly but honestly: why am I triggered by the success of a woman trying to make a mark in her field?” she added.

The actress also prayed for critics to find peace and healing from past pains that may have contributed to bitterness and toxicity.

“May God give us peace and happiness that surpass human understanding, and heal us from past pains that have transcended into bitterness, toxicity, and hatred,” she concluded.

Odetola’s remarks come in the wake of Hilda Baci’s historic feat, recognized by Guinness World Records, where she prepared the largest serving of Nigerian-style Jollof Rice, attracting nationwide attention and sparking conversations about women’s achievements in the culinary industry.
