Afua began her singathon attempt on Saturday, December 21, 2024, in Kumasi. Fans and supporters were seen at the venue, cheering her on as she sang her way toward potentially becoming the record holder for the longest singing marathon by an individual.

This was Afua Asantewaa’s second attempt at the record. Her first attempt in December 2023 gained significant attention, particularly for the famous soundbite, “It’s like there’s something running…” which originated when she lost her voice during the attempt.

Unfortunately, her initial attempt did not meet the Guinness World Records criteria due to non-compliance with certain rules.

Despite the setback, her first attempt saw immense support from prominent figures, including Sarkodie, Nana Ama McBrown, and statesmen such as Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Afua Asantewaa Aduonum is the first Ghanaian to undertake this record attempt. Many Ghanaians remain hopeful that she will soon be recognized as the record holder for the longest singing marathon by an individual.
