Ghanaian media personality and singer, Afua Asantewaa
Ghanaian media personality and singer Afua Asantewaa has stated that she is still waiting for an official response from Guinness World Records following her second attempt at breaking the record for the longest singing marathon by an individual.
In an interaction with a fan on TikTok, Afua Asantewaa gave an update on the status of her record attempt.
The fan had commented under a video of her dancing, asking about the outcome of the singing marathon she embarked on in December 2024.
Responding directly to the fan’s comment, she said she was yet to hear back from the Guinness World Records team.
“We are still waiting,” she responded.
It’s been several months since the attempt, with the official waiting period for verification already surpassed.
According to information on the Guinness World Records website, the usual processing time for standard applications is between six to twelve weeks.
However, the timeframe can be longer depending on the type of record and how complex the evidence submitted is.
In cases where a Guinness World Records judge is present during the attempt, results can be confirmed immediately but that wasn’t the case for Afua’s marathon.
Afua Asantewaa began her second attempt on December 21, 2024, at Heroes’ Park in Kumasi.
Though this attempt has not been confirmed yet as successful, it followed her initial effort in December 2023, where she had also tried to break the existing record of 105 hours set by Indian singer Sunil Waghmare.
During her December 2024 attempt, she sang non-stop for 121 hours and 39 minutes.
