Former Guinness World Records contender and the mother of popular music producer and singer Ogidi Brown, Artiste Maame, has revealed her unusual habit of excessive gum chewing, stating that she chews more than 20 packs of gum daily.
Speaking on the February 9, 2025, edition of The Delay Show, Artiste Maame explained that chewing gum has become an essential part of her brand and will never get tired of it.
“I don’t get tired of chewing gum. I can chew more than 20 packs of gum in a day. I don’t feel any pain in my jaw,” she said.
When asked why she chews gum a lot. She explained, “I don’t want to speak on other people’s matters. That’s why I chew gum a lot. If I take it out and I hear something, I will talk about it.”
Artiste Maame gained public attention in February 2024 after announcing her attempt to break the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest gum-chewing marathon.
She began her ambitious seven-day challenge on Friday, 9th February 2024, aiming to surpass the existing 41-hour record.
However, just seven hours into the challenge, Maame unexpectedly fell asleep, as captured in a widely circulated video.
This led to her disqualification by the Guinness World Records body.
Despite the setback, she has continued to embrace her gum-chewing persona, making it a key part of her public image.
She has also been seen in several music videos with her son.
