After her unsuccessful attempt to break the Guinness World Record, Afua Asantewaa gave an explanation for why she was unable to notify Ghanaians beforehand.
Even though Asantewaa was not successful in breaking a new Guinness World Record, she was proud to be the only woman in the world to finish a sing-a-thon.
Afua disclosed to a TV station in Accra that she was unable to promptly notify the public because she had misplaced her login credentials for Guinness World Records.
She claims that because she cannot access her account, she is unable to present an official document.
The Guinness World Records revealed on Friday, February 23, 2024, that Afua Asantewaa of Ghana was unable to surpass her own record for the longest singing marathon, which she had attempted in December 2023.
In a statement posted on X (previously Twitter), the GWR stated as much, adding that they hope she tries again despite the setback.
“We’ve seen how inspirational it has been for her fans…We wish Afua the best of luck with any future record attempts,”
They made a note.
They also said that Afua Asantewaa’s team received a reimbursement for the money they spent on a priority review.
In December 2023, Afua Asantewaa accepted the challenge to break the current record, which was set in 2012 and stands at 105 hours.
A five-day singing marathon that started at midnight on Sunday, December 24, 2023, and ended at 7:00 am on December 29, 2023 was endured by Asantewaa.
By Friday morning, when her attempt at breaking the record was over, the young singer had sang for five days, six hours, and fifty-five minutes.
