Guinness World Records (GWR) has officially confirmed that the recent singing marathon attempt by Afua Asantewaa Aduonum has been disqualified.
However, the GWR, in response to questions from the general public, stated that the attempt did not meet the requisite criteria for a successful record-breaking achievement.
This was confirmed in a tweet on Friday (February 23rd) with GWR noting that “Unfortunately, Afua’s Guinness World Records attempt for the longest singing marathon was not successful, but we hope that she will make another attempt soon. We’ve seen how inspirational it has been for her fans.”
Guinness World Records also added that they have already refunded the $750 Afua Asantewaa paid to enhance the speed of the verification process.
“The evidence check had already begun before Afua requested priority service, so we refunded her payment earlier this month. Despite the setback, they hope she makes another attempt. We wish Afua the best of luck with any future record attempts.”
Asantewaa endured a five-day singing marathon which began at midnight on Sunday, December 24th, 2023, and ended at 7:00 am on December 29th, 2023 (five days, six hours and 55 minutes).
