Ghana’s Afua Asantewaa Aduonum has ended her sing-a-thon last week, a task that seeked to break the Guinness World Record for an individual’s longest singing marathon.
She ended it around 7 am on Friday, December 29, 2023, by doing 126 hours, 52 minutes according to the information picked on the grounds.
Earlier, there were conflicting reports about the time she was going to stop if she wanted to break the world record because of some of the unexpected breaks she took.
Later she revealed in an interview with Mzgee on UTV last Saturday that her team is yet to submit their evidence to Guiness World Records.
She said that notably, the lawyers are tirelessly working around the clock to provide genuine evidence to Guinness World Records as their laws suggest after each record-breaking attempt.
According to her, her team will present its evidence to Guinness World Records in the coming week(s).
Just this morning, we were told that Afua has finally submitted her pieces of evidence to Guiness World Records.
Below are the 6 sets of shreds of evidence Afua Asantewaa and her team submitted to Guiness World Records this morning.
