Afua Asantewaa Aduonum, the Ghanaian journalist cum entrepreneur, who is hoping to be confirmed as holder of the Guinness World Record’s longest singing marathon has stated that she will blame Highlife artiste, Kuami Eugene if she gets disqualified.
According to her, she has a crush on Kuami Eugene which in some way, affected her when the said Highlife artiste graced the event venue while her sing-a-thon was ongoing.
She revealed that she forgot Kuami Eugene’s lyrics for ‘Asuoden’, a song by Sista Afia which featured Kuami Eugene when she saw him at the sing-a-thon grounds.
“Kuami Eugene is my crush. That guy came and I forgot my lyrics. I said to myself that he was going to disturb me with his presence. If the Guinness Book of Records does not give me the record, it is Kwami Eugene. My husband knows I have a crush on him so when he got there, I said he shouldn’t have been there. I couldn’t remember his lyrics to ‘Asuoden’. I just like him”, she said in a video shared by SikaOfficial on X.
Afua Asantewaa Aduonum declared intentions to break the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon.
The event began on December 24, 2023, and was scheduled to end on December 27, 2023.

On Friday, December 29, 2023, Afua Asantewaa ended her attempt as she achieved 105 hours and set a new record, 126 hours, 52 mins.
