Afua Asantewaa Eyes Another Guinness World Record Attempt

Ghanaian media personality and entrepreneur Afua Asantewaa Aduonum, who made headlines in December 2023 with her attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest individual singing session, has revealed her determination to make another attempt.

Despite her previous attempt being unsuccessful, Afua Asantewaa remains undeterred. In a recent interview with GHONE TV, she expressed her ongoing consideration of another record-breaking effort. Drawing parallels to presidential candidates who continue to campaign despite losses and the Black Stars’ persistent pursuit of World Cup glory, she emphasized the importance of perseverance.

“I’ve been thinking about it a lot and I believe that the record attempt I embarked on is similar to the Black Stars participating in a World Cup or a presidential candidate attempting for the presidency,” she said.

“I have never in my life seen the Black Stars quit football because they did not qualify for the World Cup; they still play all the time. I have seen presidential candidates who have not won the presidential seat but are still attempting,” she noted.

Reflecting on her own journey, she added, “So, if I have attempted the World Record and it wasn’t successful, it does not mean that I should give up. We are still considering, and moving forward, I believe that a lot has been learned. We have only two weeks to attempt what we did last year in December, so we have enough months ahead that if we would want to go again, to probably prepare and hit it once and for all.”
