Afua’s evidence has been examined by Guinness World Records, who say they will soon make the results public.

The comment made on a TikTok post announcing the record holder by user cute_gyebuaxx prompted Guinness World Records to release this statement.

Please, there was this girl in Ghana who performed a singing marathon, according to the TikTok comment. Since we’ve been waiting, would you kindly say something about it?

The World Record responded, “We’ve been reviewing Afua’s evidence and will be letting her know the results soon.”
