Popular social media sensation, Afua Asantewaa, has accused the Guinness World Records (GWR) of breaching their contract by announcing the results of her singing marathon before she had the chance to do so herself.
In an exclusive interview with GTV, Asantewaa expressed her frustration, stating that according to the contract signed with GWR, she was supposed to be informed of the results first before they were made public.
"In the contract we signed, until I decide to let it out, they can't. There are so many things I have tried in the past that I willingly embraced failure that brought me this far. So why would I hide the results from the public? No way," she asserted.
As of Friday, February 23, Asantewaa claimed she had not received the results of her record attempt due to issues accessing the email sent by GWR containing the results. Despite alerting GWR about her inability to access the email, she stated that they had not responded to her complaint.
"We had screenshots of it as if I knew this would happen. I lodged a complaint with them that I cannot access their website or my account so they should look into it for me because I need official documents, whatever they've sent to make a statement," Asantewaa explained.
However, she assured her fans that she and her team were making plans to announce the results once GWR got back to them, emphasizing that she would not purposely hide the results and would embrace them regardless of the outcome.
In December 2023, Asantewaa undertook the challenge to beat the existing sing-a-thon record, enduring a five-day singing marathon. Despite her efforts, the outcome of her record attempt has remained undisclosed by GWR.
The situation escalated when rumors circulated that she may not have passed the record attempt. In January 2024, she disclosed that her team expedited the approval process by paying $750 for a priority review. However, even after the payment, her result was delayed, leading to further speculation.
In a statement released on X (formerly Twitter), GWR revealed that Asantewaa failed to break the longest singing marathon record and refunded the money paid for a priority review.
Despite the setback, Asantewaa remains determined, emphasizing that the experience itself was an accomplishment.
The ongoing saga has sparked debate and raised questions about the transparency of the record verification process and the handling of Asantewaa's case by GWR.
