Afua Asantewaa, who gained notoriety for her attempt to set a Guinness World Record through singing, has proposed a possible explanation for her disqualification.
She claimed that “Dumsor” might have been the cause of her attempt’s disqualification.
The Guinness World Record attemptee said in an interview with United Showbiz that there was a plant there prior to her attempt, but it was taken away as soon as she started.
She disclosed that although a kind stranger had offered to give them a plant, the plant had been ruined by too many on and off lights.
She claimed that in addition to the lights coming on and off, there was once an hour-long outage of light, and that her management team would be the most qualified to provide further information because she was preoccupied with organizing her sing-a-thon.
“At Akwaaba village there was a plant, but it was taken away. But we had someone who sponsored us with a generator. There was a day when the light went off and when they were switching, it caught fire. It was ECG. The lights went off and I will say that it was 10 minutes. Honestly, if you ask me I think GTA and my team will be the best people to answer because, at that time, I wouldn’t know the best period when it happened. Everything was off, the time, DJ, everything. The light went off for an hour. You asked that at the point when the lights went off, I believed the attempt had failed, right? The motive of this attempt was not to give up. Let me establish a point…Even when my voice went off I could have stopped,” she said.
The viral video on the internet asserts “As human as I am, I felt it but there are two sides to it. When I even lost my voice…It got to a point where my voice went off and I couldn’t talk at all. With that, I did more than five five-minute breaks, that was the first one I encountered. However, what I know is that regardless of the challenge finish the attempt. Even those who entered the box…”.
On Friday, February 23, 2024, the Guinness World Records announced that Ghana’s Afua Asantewaa failed to break the longest singing marathon she attempted in December 2023.
