My husband is also crushing on Omotola; Afua Asantewaa defends affection for Kuami Eugene
In a recent interview with Joy Prime, Afua Asantewaa responded to critics following her open admission of admiration for highlife artist Kuami Eugene. The married broadcaster, who aimed to break the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon, revealed that her fondness for Eugene affected her performance during the sing-a-thon.
During the interview with IB Ben Bako, Asantewaa amusingly recounted the moment when Kuami Eugene visited her at the Akwaaba Village, causing her to forget some of her lyrics. She humorously remarked, "I said that guy came, and I could not remember my lyrics. I said ‘this guy has worried me.’ If Guinness people don’t give me the record, it’s Kuami Eugene."
Asantewaa admitted that her husband was aware of her admiration for Kuami Eugene, revealing, "My husband knows. So when he got there I said ‘Kuami, you have worried me. You shouldn’t have come. I sang ‘Asuoden’ and you know his rap comes after. As I stood there, I did everything I couldn’t remember."
The public acknowledgment of her crush stirred a debate on social media regarding the appropriateness of a married woman openly expressing admiration for someone other than her partner. While some argue that having a crush is not a serious matter, others criticized Afua for her comment.
In response to the trolls and backlash on her Instagram Story, Afua addressed the situation with humor, writing, "Aaaw, jokes turn bitter pills. Husby sef his crush is Omotola (honey will say ah bebe). Don’t give yourselves a headache, wai na life is too short. Wear Ghana, Eat Ghana, and Tour Ghana to know Ghana."
Afua Asantewaa Aduonum aimed to break the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon, starting on December 24, 2023, and scheduled to conclude on December 27, 2023. Sunil Waghmare held the previous record, achieved in 2012, singing for 105 hours.
On December 29, 2023, Afua Asantewaa successfully concluded her attempt, surpassing the previous record by achieving an impressive 126 hours and 52 minutes. Her journey in the singing marathon became a testament to her dedication and passion for breaking boundaries in the realm of music.
