Sing-A-Thon: Gunness World Records disqualifies Afua Asantewaa despite paying Ghc 9,286
Afua Asantewaa confirmed on February 1, 2023, that she had paid the Guinness World Record $750, or GHC 9,286 for a priority review.
Afua Asantewaa revealed in an exclusive interview with Joy News that she and her team paid for the priority review after waiting weeks for an official statement regarding her longest singing marathon attempt by an individual from Guinness World Records.
Afua claims that although the priority review costs $650, there are additional unstated fees. As a result, she ended up paying $750 in total.
Citing from the official website of Guinness World Records, if an applicant chooses the Priority Application service, Guinness World Records will respond to him or her within 5 working days (as opposed to the usual 12 weeks).
Today is 22nd February (Roughly 21 days after the payment of the priority review) and we still haven’t received any update from Afua Asantewaa’s team concerning the current status of her sing-a-thon attempt.
Has she been informed of her unfortunate disqualification and has she been keeping it hidden from the public eye, which is highly suspicious given that if this had been the case, the news of her victory would have made the news!
We’ll have to wait and see, but we’re still hoping for the best.
Afua Asantewaa completes Sing-A-Thon
Afua Asantewaa endured a five-day singing marathon that commenced at midnight on Sunday, December 24 and concluded at 7:00 am on December 29.
At the time of ending her record attempt on Friday morning, the young woman had sung for five days, six hours, and 55 minutes.
While addressing the public after her remarkable feat, Afua Asantewaa expressed gratitude to everyone who supported her, including those who showed up at the Akwaaba Village and those who could not.
“At a point, I kept asking which day it was, and I finally got to know that today is Friday. On behalf of my family, team, volunteers, the media, and Ghana Tourism Authority, I would like to say thank you to everyone who participated in this attempt; it has been a smooth journey and a very successful one,” she noted.
