Her attempt comes a few days ahead of the sing-a-thon announced by the Ghanaian journalist, Afua Asantewaa weeks ago.
The Ghanaian is also planning on breaking the same 117-hour existing record. Afua Asantewaa also has plans to sing for 120 hours. At the moment, some social media users are debating on whether Asantewaa would extend her time beyond 120 hours.
She hopes to begin the ‘longest singing marathon by an individual’ on December 24 and end on December 27 at an event in Accra.
