Afua Asantewaa will never lay hands on the Guinness world record- Nigerian Sing-A-Thon contender cha

Publish date: 2024-06-17

Jasmine Sing, a Nigerian social media influencer, has caused a stir by expressing doubt that Afua Asantewaa will be able to break the world record for the longest singing marathon by an individual.

Before Afua’s singathon began, Jasmine started her attempt last week and plans to continue for 120 hours, aiming to surpass the existing record of 105 hours set in 2012. At the time of writing this report, we do not have information on the number of hours Jasmine has completed.

However, it appears that she has been closely following Afua’s progress and is not pleased about it.

Interestingly, some enthusiastic Ghanaian fans have taken to the comment section of Jasmine’s video to mock her and assert that Afua will be the rightful holder of the record.

In response, Jasmine retaliated by calling Ghanaians illiterate and confidently stating that Afua will never achieve the record because it belongs to her.

We will investigate further to determine the number of hours Jasmine has completed thus far, which seems to be boosting her confidence.

How Afua can lay claim to the record

Despite the immense support Afua Asantewaa has received from Ghanaians from all walks of life during her singathon, and her steady progress towards her goal on the fourth day of her adventure, it is crucial for her to adhere to the guidelines of the Guinness World Records to avoid missing out.

Afua Asantewaa is on a mission to break the record for the longest singing marathon by an individual, which currently stands at 105 hours.

Her journey began at midnight on Sunday, December 24th, and she is expected to complete it by December 28th.

During the attempt, Afua is allowed to sit, stand, or lie down as long as she continues singing; the position doesn’t matter.

However, unlike music shows, she is not permitted to jam or hum along to the songs like musicians do, and there will be no drumming involved. She is, however, allowed to speak in between songs.

Here are the rules governing the Guinness World Record singing marathon:

(1) Applications for this record title are granted to applicant who are 16 years of age or over.

(2) The songs sung throughout the attempt must be recognisable and performed to a reasonable standard. This is at the discretion of the Guinness World Records. 

(3) Singing must be continuous with only brief pauses of not more than 30 seconds allowed between songs. 

(4) Each piece of music performed must last for at least two minutes.

(5) No piece of music may be repeated in performance within four hours. Songs can only repeated after 4 hours. 

(6) Applicant is permitted to take a five-minute breaks every hour or 20-minute breaks after four hours. 

(7) Inprovisation or jamming is not allowed.

(8) Applicants may be accompanied or not accompanied. If accompanied, no musician may play for more than four hours, after which they must take a break of a least four hours. 

(9) After the attempt, a playlist of all tunes performed must be maintained and submitted with the claim.
