Draped in yellow with a gown by Clasik Diane and all glammed up by Kim Beauty Studios with Essa on hair, Baci looked every inch of an icon. The caption read: “I’ve been holding onto this for a while… Something really, really special is happening. A full circle moment one that reminds me how far I’ve come, and how much is possible when you just don’t stop.”
The post was soon swarmed with an unprecedented rush of excitement from all its followers; most were congratulating her even before they knew what the announcement was all about. “Whatever it is, congratulations,” said Chef Eju, while Maryk.bby said, “Congratulations are in order.” Such big support speaks to Baci’s presence in the African culinary world and far beyond.
Speculation on the big news started flowing, some saying, “We are opening a culinary school,” to which another commented, “If she does I’ll be too happy.” Such an option seems logical because after breaking the record for the longest cooking marathon in 2023, Baci has become a global ambassador for Nigerian cuisine and a role model for budding chefs.
There really were some tears in the comment section as expected from the tremendous amount of resonance that such a journey has created with the public. Displays like, “So so proud of you” by Thisthingcalledfashionn, and finally, Bettyharry_ says, “My baby.” Just before Enioluwa said, “Abeg this girl you to fine!”
Baci herself leaves the accusation of a full circle moment, which can suggest that this announcement might basically be in some way linked to her beginnings or an idea that has been in the making for years. Since her global prominence with the record-breaking cooking marathon, she has done Malaysian food culture proud to the best of her ability through television appearances, endorsements, and speaking engagements.
Styling credits would imply that Baci is operating at a very high level, meaning this announcement is so big an elaborate production was done for it. Styled by Emmanuel Goodnews and shot by The Sought After, both of whom routinely work with the creme de la creme.
All in all, Baci is quite hush about it: “I can’t wait to show you… But for now let’s bask in the beauty that is me.” The teasing grows with, “Can you guess what the big news is?” prompting a frenzy of youngsters to keep refreshing their feeds.
This is pretty catchy timing for the post, as it supports Baci riding so high on success that has never known before. From local chef to the international stage, her ascension for just a little over a year makes this announcement what may well be the next big chapter of her life. After all, be it culinary school, a cookbook, a restaurant chain, or something nobody’s bought into being possible just yet, one thing’s for sure: The world will be witnessing every single second when Hilda Baci finally decides to show the world what she has been cooking up behind closed doors.
The big reaction to Baci’s tease expresses her possessed capacity to mingle with the masses. Most celebrities just announce their projects and leave it at that; she alone has created with herself an interactive narrative, generating a buzz. This kind of marketing genius has moved to stamp her brand: building herself from a record-setting chef into a bona fide media personality.
