In a tweet responding to a comment enquiring about her attempt, the GWR said “unfortunately, Afua’s Guinness World Record attempt for the longest singing marathon was not successful but we hope that she will make another attempt soon.”

The GWR also noted that the evidence check already begun before Afua requested priority service hence her earlier payment has been refunded.

Earlier this month, Afua Asantewaa disclosed that she paid $750 to expedite her priority review process with Guinness World Records.

Speaking in an interview, Afua Asantewaa said the usual review process with the Guinness World Records takes up to twelve weeks but with payment one can have it within five days

Afua Asantewaa completed her singing marathon at 126 hours and 52 minutes on December 29, 2023 aiming to break the current record by Sunil Waghmare, an Indian who sang for 105 hours in 2012.
