Afua Asantewaa and Ghanaians were in a state of shock after news went viral that her Guinness World Record GWR attempt was unsuccessful.
The unfortunate news was announced in a tweet by Guinness World Records via X formerly known as Twitter.
They tweeted;
“Unfortunately, Afua’s Guinness World Records attempt for the longest singing marathon was not successful, but we hope that she will make another attempt soon. We’ve seen how inspirational it has been for her fans. The evidence check had already begun before Afua requested priority service, so we refunded her payment earlier this month. We wish Afua the best of luck with any future record attempts.”
Afua Asantewaa Aduonum aim was to break the record for the longest individual singing marathon of 105 hours which is held by Indian Sunil Waghmare from March 3 to March 7, 2012..
Afua endured a five-day singing marathon that commenced at midnight on Sunday, December 24 and concluded at 7:00 am on December 29.
However, according to celebrated entertainment journalist Kwame Dadzie of Joy FM, he wrote to Guinness World Record GWR to know the reasons why they disqualified the Ghanaian media personality.
In a viral video, he revealed that they wrote to him that Afua didn’t follow their guidelines.
He said;
“This is due to guidelines around rest break timings not being met”. These rules are standard across all of our ‘longest marathon’ records.
