Mother of Rapper T-Pain Launches Private Catering Company, Goldfire Private Chefs
Posted By: Hija Chang on December 12, 2017


Originally from the Bahamas, Aliyah “Mamapain” Najm found her passion for cuisine while working at her parents’ restaurant. She eventually moved to Tallahassee, Florida where she and her then husband opened a seafood restaurant. Aliyah quickly became an indispensable asset to the restaurant, bringing her exquisite palate and creativity to everything she touched.

In November 2016, Aliyah showcased her culinary talents on the Food Network’s hit television show, ‘The Clash of the Grandmas’, a role in which she wowed the judges and audience members with her refined, contemporary cuisine. Aliyah’s creativity, spontaneity, and colorful personality won her first prize on the cooking show.

As part of her job to inspire and educate, she is now representing some of the most experienced and talented chefs in Atlanta with the launch of her new company, Goldfire Private Chefs.

In addition, they provide daily meal plans for me. The chefs are professional as they provide various cuisines with exceptional presentation,” T-Pain said.
