Afua Asantewaa, a Ghanaian singer and Guinness World Record (GWR) attemptee, who faced disappointment after an unsuccessful sing-a-thon has hit back at critics.
After Guinness World Records noted that Afua Asantewaa failed to break the sing-a-thon record, some Ghanaians took to social media to troll Afua. They accused her of hoarding information on her sing-a-thon attempt, a claim she has refuted.
The criticism continued and Afua Asantewaa appears to have had enough. Some of her critics have questioned why she does not appear so devastated by her failed attempt.
In response in an audio gone viral on social media, Afua said “Some people say your results are in and you didn’t succeed but you are happy. What do you expect me to do, cry?”
She also lambasted her critics for asking her to refrain from making further comments. According to Afua, she prefers to share whatever sentiment she feels so she does not suffer psychologically.
“So what do we want as individuals and human beings. I am fighting for a revolution where people will appreciate people regardless of the situation,” she added.
In a recent video shared on Ghpage TV, Asantewaa hinted at her future endeavors, hinting at the possibility of another singing marathon.
During an interview with Adom FM, Afua admitted that she is currently unable to provide a definitive answer regarding whether she will pursue another record attempt.
She revealed that she is awaiting feedback from the Guinness World Records regarding the areas where her previous attempt fell short.
Meanwhile, Afua Asantewaa Aduonum has disclosed details about alleged sabotage by some Ghanaians, who she claimed orchestrated efforts to ensure her record-breaking attempt for the longest singing time by an individual would fail.
Speaking candidly, Afua revealed, “Even before the GWR requested my video, they made me aware that during my attempt, some people had sent them videos pinpointing certain things they thought should disqualify me.”
