Nigerian chef Damilola Adeparusi, better known as Chef Dammy, has reacted to the criticism following her speech at an event.

The chef, who attempted to break the Guinness World Record in 2023, attended an event where she was invited to give a short speech about herself. The video sparked criticism, with many sending her abusive messages in her direct messages.

In response, Chef Dammy released another video, slamming her critics. She stated that if people want to abuse her, they should do so in the comment section, not in her DMs.

She shared some of the hurtful words directed at her, such as "Werey" (meaning "mad person").

The culinary expert noted that while she used to be hurt by such remarks in the past, she no longer feels the same way, as many do not know the current Chef Dammy.

Sharing her feelings about the abuse, Chef Dammy expressed that those who insult her are giving the impression that their families, such as their mothers and siblings, are not well at home. She added that the criticism doesn't break her, as she's grown beyond what they say about her.

Chef Dammy concluded by stating that she doesn't believe she deserves the abuse directed at her on social media.
