Afua Asantewaa, Ghanaian aiming to set the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon, has shared her plans in the event of an initial rejection.
She mentioned her intention to reapply for the sing-a-thon attempt if the first endeavour doesn’t achieve the desired positive outcome.
Currently taking a break to rest and ensure her well-being during the marathon, Afua Asantewaa remains hopeful about successfully breaking the Guinness World Record, which has garnered attention and acclaim in the country.
“It has not been easy. Those who are saying I should relax, I am doing it and Royal Senchi [hotel] is giving me the best treatment ever. We are waiting for the Guinness World Record results.
“Whatever it will be, if we have it, that’s fine. But if we don’t, we are trying again until they finally give it to us but I know we are going to have it,” she said in a video shared by Mari. Gyata on her Instagram page.
This comes after Afua Asantewaa finally submitted evidence of her attempt to the ‘Guinness Book of Records for the longest singing by an individual’ on January 6, 2024.
Afua Asantewaa’s Guinness World Record ‘singathon’ journey ended on Friday, December 29, 2023, after she was able to achieve 126 hours, which surpasses the 105-hour record.
It remains to be seen whether she will be adjudged as being able to break the record upon review by the Guinness World Record team.
