Following social media outburst, Chef Smith, who was speaking with Serwaa Amihere on GHOne TV in tears, apologised to Ghanaians and the world at large for the embarrassment and lies.
“I render a very big apology on this big platform, and I apologise to the world that I am so sorry. I don’t deserve to live. But in my quest to earn a living, it has landed me in shame I am sorry, and I beg the entire nation,” he expressed.
He also went on to record a video which had since gone viral on social media, in the same tearful mood, apologising for his mistake and asking for forgiveness.
Joining him to render apologies to Ghanaians was gospel musician, Nacee, who used his social media to promote Chef Smith during his fake attempt.
The musician went on his knees during a show at Peace Fm on Monday to plead with Ghanaians to forgive the Chef as he deserved a second chance.

Von Sinu releases debut single ‘Thank You’
Von Sinu, an upcoming gospel musician, has released her debut single titled ‘Thank You’ which is gaining popularity on the airwaves and streaming platforms.
‘Thank you’ seeks to appreciate God for his goodness and faithfulness in her life.
In an interview with The Spectator in Accra, Von, who is also a fashion designer said “looking back at my life and what God has told me about myself, I was grateful.
She said she had to record it and later sent it to a friend who has been very instrumental in her being a gospel singer.
She said though there were other songs written and recorded, she thought it was prudent to release ‘Thank you’ as the Bible urges believers to give thanks in Psalm 92:1-2: “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name”
The song is available on all digital platforms including Youtube, Spotify, Apple music Deezer and Tidal.
