Ghanaian media personality and socialite Afua Asantewaa Aduonum has challenged the narrative that she benefited significantly from the state after her first attempt to become a Guinness World Record holder for the longest singing marathon by an individual.

Afua's attempt which lasted over three days was one of the biggest events in Ghana's 2023 Detty December calendar.

Scores of celebrities including Nana Ama McBrown, and Shatta Wale joined the frenzy as they visited the GWR contender during her attempt.

The then Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and the presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party also honoured Afua with his presence.

The patronage from these personalities influenced the narrative that Afua's attempt made her a beneficiary of government funds and favours.

In a recent interview, Afua Asantewaa opened up about the shock she had when people alleged that the government gave her a V8 luxury car among many other goodies.

According to Afua, the only thing she got from the former president was medicine for her sore throat which she has kept as a relic because of the gesture's import.

Speaking with Nana Romeo on Accra FM, Afua Asantewaa emphasised that she was informed of some personal donations made to people believed to be representing her but she never received those donations.
