Ghanaian broadcaster Afua Asantewaa, who is aiming to break the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon, has addressed rumours that her attempt has been unsuccessful.
She clarified that she has not made any such claims publicly and believes that individuals with malicious intentions are spreading false information to tarnish her reputation while the review process is still underway.
Despite facing criticism due to the delay in the approval of her record attempt, Asantewaa remains unfazed by the ongoing rumours surrounding its outcome.
During a TikTok live session, she called on the public to support her with prayers as Guinness World Records continues to verify her sing-a-thon attempt and to refrain from spreading negative comments about her.
“I don’t remember saying it anywhere that I was disqualified. Despite the rumours about my failure, people can choose to believe it or not, I’m not perturbed. Instead of hoping for the best people seem to hate me instead.
“The Bible tells us that those who harbour hatred are not listened to by God. Which is why some individuals are struggling to make ends meet in life. I’m very forgiving so such things don’t bother me. Some people chastise you on social media but pretend to admire you when they encounter you in person,” she said.
Some members of the public have raised concerns about the delay in the approval of Afua Asantewaa’s sing-a-thon attempt.
Recently, Afua Asantewaa disclosed that she has made payment for the review of her sing-a-thon attempt to be expedited, however, the outcome is yet to be known.
She completed her sing-a-thon in five days after clocking 126 hours, which surpasses the 105 hours which stood as the existing world record.
