Ghanaian media personality Afua Asantewaa has claimed that dark spiritual forces played a role in sabotaging her Guinness World Record sing-a-thon attempt. Despite praying and seeking spiritual guidance from a pastor, she believes unseen powers worked against her success.
In an interview with media personality Afia Amankwaah Tamakloe, Afua Asantewaa opened up about the difficulties she faced while attempting to set the record. She admitted that negative social media comments about the event deeply affected her and that she was unprepared for the intense spiritual challenges she encountered during her first attempt.
Although she made both physical and spiritual preparations ahead of the event at Akwaaba Village in Accra in December 2023, she was unable to overcome the spiritual obstacles. “Social media comments can have a significant impact. During my first attempt, they affected me. The challenges were many, and they were spiritual in nature. Physically, I was ready—I exercised, knowing I would be singing. But spiritually, I was weak. I prayed, and we even invited a pastor to pray with us, but the battle during the sing-a-thon is not an easy one. I am speaking from experience,” she shared.
She also revealed that she and her husband faced significant financial losses, as they personally funded the entire project. Due to continued spiritual challenges, they resorted to fasting and intense prayers to safeguard her second attempt in Kumasi.
Her latest attempt at breaking the Guinness World Record spanned five days, exceeding 120 hours. It began on December 21, 2024, and concluded on December 26, 2024
