Popular Nigerian musician Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade popularly known as Mr Eazi has become the first Nigerian celebrity to openly show support for Afua Asantewaa in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon.
The record is held by Indian Sunil Waghmare, who earned the milestone after singing for 105 hours from March 3 to March 7, 2012.
In the five-day event that began exactly at midnight on December 24, 2023, she started with OSIBISA’s ‘WOYAYA’ and followed it with two gospel songs.
It would be recalled that earlier this year, a Nigerian woman named Hilda Baci tried to break a similar world record and received a lot of support from Ghanaians.
Many blogs in Ghana shared Hilda Baci’s story, and Ghanaian social media users showed her their support.
However, in contrast, few Nigerian blogs have posted about Asantewaa’s sing-a-thon, and Nigerian social media users and celebrities seem to be unaware of it.
Meanwhile Many Ghanaians including celebrities has taken to social media to express their displeasure over the silence and no show of support from Nigerians and their celebrities.some were asking if any Nigerian had tweeted in support of Asantewaa.
As a result, Nigerian musician Mr Eazi has gone to the Akwaaba Village to support the lady. Wearing a Ghanaian replica jersey, he became the first Nigerian celebrity to openly show support for the Ghanaian.
