India’s Sunil Waghmare is the record holder for the longest singing marathon. He sang for 105-hour at the Continent DC, Washington DC, in the United States in 2012.

Jibromah is not the first Nigerian singer attempting to surpass Waghmare’s record.

Isaac Geralds, the US-based Nigerian singer, attempted to break the world record earlier this month. However, Geralds stopped the exercise at 98 hours, 26 minutes due to health reasons.
