    Entrepreneur and media personality, Afua Asantewaa Owusu Aduonum, known for her remarkable Guinness World Record (GWR) sing-a-thon attempt, has added another feather to her cap as she announces a new brand ambassadorial partnership with Ike City Hotel in Community 25.

    This collaboration comes on the heels of her recent agreements with Security Solutions Provider and Response One Ghana Limited.

    Under the terms of the two-year renewable contract, effective from February 21, 2024, to February 2026, Asantewaa will act as a representative to promote Ike City Hotel through various media channels, including traditional, electronic, and social media.

    Mr. Isaac Ofori Amoako, President of Ike City Hotel, expressed his excitement about having Asantewaa as their brand ambassador, praising her resilience, strength, and affinity for luxury that aligns seamlessly with the hotel’s vision.

    In her acceptance speech, Asantewaa expressed gratitude for the opportunity and pledged to leverage her platforms to elevate the brand.

    “I am truly grateful for this opportunity, and I pledge to utilise my various platforms to elevate this unique brand. Although it is a new facility, I am confident it will rank among the best not only on the continent but globally. I look forward to a fruitful and enduring partnership.”

    She confidently predicts that Ike City Hotel, despite being a new facility, will stand among the best globally.

    The luxurious 54-bedroom complex, part of Ike City Group, boasts a rooftop sky bar, salon, gym, spa, conference rooms, and other top-notch facilities.

    The official launch of Ike City Hotel is scheduled for May 25, 2024, offering the public a chance to experience its luxury.

    As brand ambassador, Asantewaa will play a crucial role in building anticipation for this grand event.

    The Guinness World Records (GWR) officially confirmed that the recent singing marathon attempt by Afua Asantewaa Aduonum was not successful.

    This revelation was made public through a post on the official Guinness World Records platform, responding to an individual who sought clarification on the outcome of the singing marathon.

    Afua Asantewaa Aduonum had embarked on a remarkable endeavour to break the existing record for the longest continuous singing marathon, a feat that demands immense endurance and vocal prowess.

    Afua Asantewaa responded to her disqualification from GWR in a simple yet profound Facebook post  disclosing that the unfortunate news got to her while she was preparing to host a gala dinner and launch of a Lebanese Scholarship Alumni Network.

    “The news of the outcome of my Sing-a-thon attempt came few minutes as I was preparing to host a gala dinner and the launch of the Lebanese Scholarship Alumni Network attended by the President President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. I would announce my next line of action in few days. Thank you all for your love and support.

    When life hands you lemons, turn them to lemonade. Success is sweetest when snatched out of the jaws of defeat.”

    I don’t like staying in my comfort zone – Asantewaa on reason for GWR sing-a-thon challenge

    A dynamic personality known for her roles as a broadcaster, event planner, and entrepreneur, Afua Asantewaa Owusu Aduonum, recently shared her dislike for staying within her comfort zone.

    Speaking to Sammy Brown, host of Accra 100.5 FM’s after-drive “Akwaaba” program, Asantewaa revealed that this characteristic inspired her to embark on a remarkable challenge in December 2023 attempting to break the Guinness World Records (GWR) for the longest singing marathon.

    Over the course of 126 hours and 52 minutes, Asantewaa passionately sang only Ghanaian songs, aiming to surpass the existing record of 105 hours set by Sunil Waghmare in 2012.

    Beyond personal motivation, she emphasised her goal of promoting Ghanaian music on a global scale and proving that individuals of diverse backgrounds, including Africans like herself, can achieve GWR acclaim.

    The 33-year-old entrepreneur expressed her disdain for complacency, stating, “I don’t like being comfortable. I want to always be doing something impactful and very positive.”

    Reflecting on her decision to focus on Ghanaian music, she explained, “When you want to do something to elevate your country, you must look at something important that a lot of people have great interest in, which is our Ghanaian music.”

    Motivated by the desire to challenge stereotypes, Asantewaa observed a lack of African representation among GWR record holders and decided to take on this monumental task.

    She highlighted the underrepresentation of Africans in such achievements and asserted, “I dared myself and made the attempt.”

    Commencing her singing marathon on December 24, 2023, Asantewaa dedicated five days to this extraordinary feat.

    As she eagerly awaits the Guinness World Records’ verdict, having expedited the assessment process through a fast-tracked submission, her story stands as a testament to breaking records and shattering barriers.

    Ghanaian media personality, journalist, and entrepreneur Afua Asantewaa Owusu Aduonum, in her quest to break the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon by an individual, expresses frustration over prolonged review duration.

    Afua Asantewaa revealed that despite timely submission of all necessary documentation and evidence, the standard review process takes a minimum of 12 weeks.

    Opting for a quicker evaluation, she invested $750 to expedite the review, shortening the process to just five working days.

    “We put everything together and because of the popularity of the event we reached out to them, they said they are waiting for our videos. We have submitted everything and I think after 2 weeks waiting we decided to go for priority review. 

    “The normal review process takes not less or more than 12 weeks but if you want it quick you pay an amount of money and they review your file within five working days. Officially we paid $750, to fast track the process, “ Afua Asantewaa Owusu Aduonum stated.


    Afua Asantewaa, who commenced her attempt to break the sing-a-thon record on Christmas Eve, concluded on Friday, December 29, 2023, after an impressive 126 hours and 52 minutes.

    The entrepreneur, during the sing-a-thon, solely performed Ghanaian songs back-to-back at the Akwaaba village where several Ghanaians, including A-list musicians and politicians, passed through to support her.

    She has currently been appointed as a Tourism Ambassador.
