Abena Kwartemaa, the lady who recently embarked on a cooking marathon in Kumasi, has denied reports that she slept off during her attempt.

However, according to Kwartemaa, contrary to the report that she was dozing off, she was having her feet massaged by a therapist.

In an interview with Mr Bonez on Kessben TV's Music Plus, she said that her feet became severely swollen during her Guinness World Records (GWR) longest cooking marathon record attempt.

She explained that critics had edited those videos to make fun of her efforts and did not represent what was happening on the grounds.

"The videos that found their way on social media, purported to be her sleeping, were edited videos made up to make fun of me by some critics," Kwartemaa explained.

Speaking on the outcome of her attempt, which ended on March 13, surpassing the 500-hour mark, she noted that her team is now compiling all the evidence and files from the marathon cooking sessions.
