Afua Asantewaa O. Aduonum, after her second attempt to set the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest singing marathon, has opened up on what she described as a “horrible plot” by some individuals against her during her first attempt.
Recently, Afua completed her five-day singing marathon in Kumasi, despite facing significant backlash from netizens who questioned her motives.
Many Ghanaians criticised her efforts on social media over what they perceived as greed and a desire to be constantly in the spotlight.
Some urged her to step aside and let the country focus on more pressing issues.
However, speaking on her experience during her second attempt, Afua revealed how she uncovered some malicious plans against her during her first attempt in Accra.
In a viral video, Afua shared some shocking details, recounting how some people had gone as far as attempting to drug her.
“The first attempt, I really suffered. Everyone wanted to show they had ideas, telling me to do things this way and that way. But in the end, when I didn’t get the result I expected, they said I was the only failure in the story,” she recalled.
She then added, “In 2025, I’ll tell you everything. When they planned to give me a drug so I would collapse and they could put me in an ambulance… I’ll tell you everything. The first one, it was God. The second one too, it was God.”
Afua became visibly emotional as she questioned why people would want to harm her over a recognition that doesn’t even come with financial reward, especially after she had been accused of greed and abuse over the attempt.
“For a recognition that doesn’t have money, for a recognition that I’ve been tagged greedy and insulted, why would you even want to destroy me over it?” she asked.
Afua said although she would like to go into detail about the plot against her, she had been advised to remain silent for now.
“People say if I talk, it will affect a lot of brands and a lot of people, so I should keep quiet,” she explained.
Reflecting on her experience and the low turnout for her second attempt, Afua said she enjoyed the more intimate setting.
“This time around, I really had time to assess myself. It was so intimate, and I loved it,” she emphasised.
