After arriving in the North American country, Afua Asantewaa took a stroll along the street with her eldest daughter.

While on the stroll, the duo shared a lovely mother-and-daughter moment as they sang a song by Ghanaian singer Wendy Shay.

It is unclear what the purpose of the move is; however, Afua Asantewaa had earlier hinted at plans to embark on a singathon in the US.

In December 2023, Afua Asantewaa held a singathon event in Accra in a bid to break the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest individual singing marathon.

However, her attempt was unsuccessful as the GWR disqualified her on the grounds of not fully adhering to its guidelines for the competition.

With unrelenting determination to break the GWR, the Ghanaian media personality embarked on a second attempt in Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region, in December 2024.

While the GWR is yet to release the results for the second singathon attempt, Afua Asantewaa recently indicated that she intends to hold a third one at New York’s Times Square.

Below is the video of Afua Asantewaa and her daughter chilling in the US:
