Afua Asantewaa Aduonum has concluded her second attempt at breaking the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest singing marathon by an individual. Despite her unwavering commitment and the support of a massive crowd, the young Ghanaian singer fell short of her previous achievement, sparking a wave of mixed reactions online.

On December 21, 2024, Afua commenced her second sing-a-thon with hopes of surpassing her record of 126 hours and 52 minutes set earlier this year. After singing tirelessly for 121 hours and 39 seconds, she ended her attempt on December 26, 2024, falling shy of her initial milestone.

In a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), Afua expressed gratitude to Ghanaians for their support throughout her journey:
“I am beyond grateful for everyone who stood by me, cheered me on, and believed in this dream. This isn’t the end; it’s just another step forward.”

Mixed Reactions from Netizens

Afua’s second attempt has ignited conversations across social media. While some applauded her courage and perseverance, others expressed disappointment, questioning her motives and strategy.

Critics highlighted recurring mistakes from her first attempt, suggesting that a third attempt might require a more strategic approach. Among the skeptical voices were comments like:

  • @papii_406: “She doesn’t care about winning. It’s about the attention and deals.”
  • @nanaansah_: “She just wanted to renew the fame. It didn’t work.”
  • @Donradikal: “We honestly don’t care about her… the turnout should tell you that.”

On the other hand, supporters celebrated her determination and ability to draw such massive crowds for a feat that requires extraordinary stamina and resilience.

What’s Next for Afua?

Despite falling short, Afua’s second sing-a-thon underscores her relentless passion and the support she enjoys within Ghana and beyond. Whether she will attempt the record again remains to be seen, but her efforts have undeniably shone a spotlight on her talent and determination.

As the debate continues, one thing is certain: Afua Asantewaa Aduonum’s name will not be forgotten anytime soon in the world of GWR attempts.
