Media personality and Guinness World Record aspirant Afua Asantewaa has revealed that her team initially planned to hold her second sing-a-thon attempt in New York, USA, following her widely publicized debut attempt in Accra in December 2023.
However, Asantewaa ultimately made her second attempt to break the longest singing marathon record in Kumasi in December 2024. Unfortunately, the effort received minimal publicity, limited public support, and faced significant criticism on social media.
In response to the trolls, a frustrated Asantewaa took to social media to confront them, questioning why they didn’t intervene to stop her attempt as they had threatened.

“You think I’m NPP and probably you think that they gave me $1 billion, which is never the case. You are threatening me? I remember when I was going to do my second attempt, such people came to my dms saying, ‘You are lucky you didn’t do it in Accra.’
“Why didn’t you come to Kumasi and stop it? You can threaten me, but you can’t come to Kumasi to stop it?” she asked in the video.
Asantewaa dropped a surprising revelation, disclosing that she and her team had initially planned to stage their second sing-a-thon attempt at the iconic Times Square in New York City, USA.
“The interesting conversation is that those who know, know that we were planning to hold the second attempt at Times Square in New York.
“They all knew; from my team to my manager to Global Media Alliance, they all knew,” she said.
