Celebrity chef and Guinness World Record holder Hilda Baci has taken to social media to celebrate her fiancé, music executive Damilola “Dapson” Akinwunmi, after he made history by setting a Guinness World Record
The milestone was achieved during the landmark “Trench Symphony: The Dapper Live Experience” in Lagos, where Dapson’s team orchestrated the largest live orchestra ever assembled for an Afrobeats concert, featuring 85 musicians performing alongside top Afrobeats artistes.
Sharing a video capturing the historic moment, Hilda reflected on the dedication, sacrifices, and relentless work that went into making the achievement possible. She wrote:
“I’ve seen the work. The sleepless nights. The risks. The reinvesting. The belief when things weren’t always easy.
Watching this moment happen for you and the team at Dapper Live and Dapper Music Entertainment feels incredibly special.
What started as a vision for Trench Symphony has now become a historic moment — officially a Guinness World Record for the largest orchestra at an Afrobeats concert.
I’m so proud of you. Proud of the resilience, the passion, and the way you continue to create platforms for talent and for the culture.
Also… our kids will definitely hear this story one day. Record breaker daddy. Record breaker mummy.”
Dapson, who heads Dapper Group and owns Dapper Records, has been instrumental in shaping Nigeria’s music scene by creating platforms for both established and emerging talents.
His label has nurtured rising stars including Shallipopi and several other artistes who are steadily gaining prominence in the Afrobeats industry. With the Guinness World Record, Dapson not only cemented his personal legacy but also elevated the profile of Afrobeats on the global music stage.
In a separate post, Hilda shared pictures from their traditional couple photoshoot, adding a romantic note to the celebration of Dapson’s achievement.
She captioned the images: “Love that flows like an ocean #meetthedapsons26,” hinting at their forthcoming wedding and marking the milestone as one they will cherish together.
