Before Guinness World Record passed their judgement on Ghanaian journalist and entrepreneur, Afua Asantewaa Aduonum’s attempt to break the longest sing marathon by an individual, she already disclosed what could have disqualified her.
According to her, Highlife artiste, Kuami Eugene could be the possible cause of her disqualification.
Afua explained that she has a crush on Kuami Eugene so she forgot Kuami Eugene’s lyrics for ‘Asuoden’, a song by Sista Afia which featured Kuami Eugene when he saw him at the sing-a-thon grounds.
Guinness World Records announced that Afua’s sing-a-thon was unsuccessful due to guidelines around rest break timings not being met” which they assert is “a standard rule across all of our [GWR] longest marathon records.
