Asantewaa concluded her sing-a-thon on Friday, December 29, 2023, after doing 126 hours, 52 minutes of singing over five days. While she wanted to do more, her medical team pulled the brakes on her.

According to the team's leading medical doctor, Dr Grace Buckman, Asantewaa's lack of sleep over the five days had affected her health so they had to stop her.

In a later interview with Joy Prime TV, the medical team led by Dr Buckman indicated that the sleep deprivation led to stress, which affected the body systems.

"The body has undergone a lot of stress from sleep deprivation. Every system of the body is affected, right from the brain to other systems.

"At a point we started observing some of the symptons that we actually expected...as you could see there were points where she was not able to go on singing, periods witohout much activity and even with the singing there were challenges," the doctors said.
