Chef Dammy has stepped forward to clarify the funding for her most recent cooking marathon and refute claims that her pastor was somehow involved in the ongoing issue surrounding the event.
The incredible 120-hour cooking marathon that started on Friday, June 9 had generated a lot of interest and rumors.
In response to the accusations, Chef Dammy posted a message on Twitter in which she claimed that the event’s financial organizers were her pastor and churchgoers.
She made it clear that she was only the project’s public face and was not directly involved in the fundraising procedure.
She expressed her disappointment at the lack of focus on the initial capital investment required to launch the program, as critics predominantly focused on the money raised during the marathon.
“People always criticize about the money coming in, but they don’t ask about the money that was used to start up the whole program,” Dammy stated.
“This program was fully funded by my pastor and a few members of the church. I was not involved in anything. The only thing I did in everything was to cook. I was just the face of the church.”
Addressing the rumors surrounding her pastor’s involvement in the proceeds from the cooking marathon, Chef Dammy categorically denied the allegations.
She urged individuals to refrain from spreading false information, affirming that more than half of the funds generated were still in her personal account.
Dammy clarified that the total amount received had not surpassed the initial investment made to establish the event.
“As a matter of fact, all the money that came in for me is not yet up to the money that was used to set up everything. And more than half of the supposed money that came in is still in my personal account. So ongoing rumors about my pastor should please cease,” Dammy explained.
