The outpouring of encouragement continued as Lucky Burner acknowledged Asantewaa's perseverance, saying, "Why is this girl stressing herself? She did very well in my opinion. No matter what you do, they will still insult and disrespect you. Masa, talk the truth."
Afua Asantewaa, responding to the public after the outcome of her sing-a-thon attempt, shed light on why she couldn't inform Ghanaians earlier about her unsuccessful bid to break the Guinness World Record. In an interview with an Accra-based TV station, she revealed that she had lost access to her Guinness World Records logins, preventing her from promptly updating the public.
