Video of Afua Asantewaa dozing off behind the mic during GWR singathon

Afua Asantewaa, a Guinness World Record (GWR) trialist, has captured the attention of social media users after a video of her dozing off mid-performance during her second attempt at setting a new singing record went viral.

The ambitious GWR trial, held at the Heroes Park Annex in Kumasi, aimed to clock the highest number of hours spent singing.

Afua Asantewaa who was dressed in a vibrant African-print outfit was seen standing behind the microphone while performing reggae-dancehall artist Samini’s hit song “My Own.”

However, the physical toll of the demanding attempt became evident as Afua closed her eyes while singing, struggling to keep up with the song’s lyrics.

Despite her visible fatigue, the supportive Kumasi crowd rallied behind her, singing along enthusiastically and cheering her on with words of encouragement.
