The Guinness World Record (GWR) has given clarification on why it disqualified Afua Asantewaa\u2019s sing-a-thon.<\/strong><\/p>\n On Friday, February 23, 2024, the Guinness World Record announced that Afua\u2019s attempt to break the longest singing marathon was disqualified.<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, Afua\u2019s Guinness World Records attempt for the longest singing marathon was not successful, but we hope that she will make another attempt soon. We\u2019ve seen how inspirational it has been for her fans. The evidence check had already begun before Afua requested priority service, so we refunded her payment earlier this month. We wish Afua the best of luck with any future record attempts.\u201d<\/p>\n The news was met with mixed reactions because a section of Ghanaians were hopeful of Afua breaking the record considering the fact that a detailed reason was not provided for the disqualification.<\/p>\n Afua Asantewaa Aduonum, reacting to the disqualification, indicated that she would announce her further action.<\/p>\n \u201cThe news of the outcome of my Sing-a-thon attempt came few minutes as I was preparing to host a gala dinner and the launch of the Lebanese Scholarship Alumni Network attended by the President President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. I would announce my next line of action in few days. Thank you all for your love and support. When life hands you lemons, turn them to lemonade.
