Afua Asantewaa Gives Fresh Update on Her Second Shot at the Longest Solo Singing Marathon Record

• Afua Asantewaa has given a fresh update on her second attempt to set the longest solo singing marathon Guinness World Record
• The media personality made an attempt at the record in 2023, but her attempt fell on the rocks and was riddled by some controversies
• Afua Asantewaa told fans that the results for her second submission were not yet out and she was still awaiting official communication

Ghanaian media personality Afua Asantewaa has shared a new update on her second bid to break the Guinness World Record for the longest solo singing marathon.

After months of silence following her latest attempt, she has confirmed that she is still awaiting feedback from Guinness World Records about her second attempt.

The popular broadcaster made headlines in 2023 when she first attempted the feat. That initial effort, however, ended in disappointment and was marred by several controversies, including harsh criticism online and a later disqualification from GWR.

Despite the setback, Afua remained hopeful and promised to try again.

Her first attempt, which ran from December 24 to December 29, 2023, was ultimately rejected by Guinness World Records. The organisation announced the disqualification in February 2024, noting that while the attempt had inspired many, it had not met the required standards.

Her second official attempt took place in December 2024. She began singing on December 21 and wrapped up on December 26, clocking an impressive 121 hours and 39 minutes. The event, widely followed across social media, drew overwhelming support from Ghanaians both online and at the venue.

Following her performance, Afua Asantewaa expressed her appreciation to the public for standing by her.

She described their support as a powerful force that gave her the strength to keep going even when exhaustion kicked in. She also said she felt honoured to represent Ghana on the global stage and was proud of the journey so far.

In a recent interaction with a fan on social media, Afua responded to a question about the outcome of her second attempt. She clarified that the results had not been released yet and assured her followers that she was still waiting.
