Asantewaa is trying to beat the current record of 105 hours held by Sunil Waghmare from India.

This is Asantewaa's second attempt, as her first one in 2023 was disqualified because of violations regarding rest time.

Her current attempt is happening at the Kumasi Baba Yara Sports Stadium Heroes Park Annex.

Despite her determination, social media users have pointed out that the support in Kumasi is much less than during her first attempt in Accra, where large crowds gathered to cheer her on.

Livestream videos show only a few people watching her performance in Kumasi.

One user commented, "Afua Asantewaa sings to her husband and a few birds at Kumasi Heroes Park." Another remarked, "Afua Asantewaa’s mom doing solo support. The sing-a-thon is still ongoing."

Criticisms also came from users comparing the support in Kumasi to that in Accra.

"You Kumasi massives, be yawa people. Did y'all not see the support we gave her in Accra last year?" one user posted.

Another added, "Afua Asantewaa got some small fame last year with the sing-a-thon and decided to disrespect Ghanaians. Now it’s just her singing to her husband at Heroes Park in Kumasi; nobody is there."

As Asantewaa's attempt continues, many are hoping for a surge in support as she nears the record-breaking mark.
