The Guinness World Record (GWR) has disqualified Ghana’s Afua Asantewaa’s sing-a-thon attempt.
In a tweet responding to a comment enquiring about her attempt, the GWR said, “Unfortunately, Afua’s Guinness World Record attempt for the longest singing marathon was not successful, but we hope that she will make another attempt soon.”
The GWR also noted that the evidence check had already begun before Afua requested priority service; hence, her earlier payment has been refunded.
“We wish Afua the best of luck with any future record attempts,” the GWR noted in a tweet on February 23.
Earlier this month, Afua Asantewaa disclosed that she paid $750 to expedite her priority review process with Guinness World Records.
Speaking in an interview, Afua Asantewaa said the usual review process with the Guinness World Records takes up to twelve weeks, but with payment, one can have it within five days.
She stated that after two weeks of attempting the record, she decided to expedite her review process, which necessitated her paying the said amount.
Afua Asantewaa completed her singing marathon at 126 hours and 52 minutes on December 29, 2023, aiming to break the current record set by Sunil Waghmare, an Indian who sang for 105 hours in 2012.
The official reasons for her disqualification are yet to be known.
