In an exclusive interview with Zionfelix, Queenlet disclosed that she applied for the GWR attempt in December 2023; however, when she received the approval in January 2024, she encountered some challenges.

She said she had less than a week to prepare for the record-breaking attempt. The problem they encountered was that they wanted to host the event outdoors, but that would have cost them a lot of money.

In the same interview, she said that to host the event outdoors in Germany, it would cost not more than €200,000 (GH¢3,358,321.61) for an event that would last for several days.

She said she spent a lot of money on her sing-a-thon because several people made the event possible, such as the person who streamed it, the lighting crew, the DJ and the medical staff.

"I never had a sponsor for my GWR attempt" - Queenlet

GWR sing-a-thon star Queenlet spoke to YEN.com.gh about funding and the reception she had received concerning her record-breaking attempt.

Speaking about funding, she noted that GWR does not allow persons attempting to break a record to have sponsors, so she never had one.

Highlighting the reception she had received for her sing-a-thon attempt, she said it had been massive and that she had received congratulatory messages from people around the world.

"The reception has been massively encouraging and I have had congratulations all over the world because people stayed with me in their homes both day and night throughout the attempt."

Queenlet said that she was hopeful that her attempt would be successful.

"With this attempt, I am positive about the fact that GWR will award me this record," she said.
