According to the official Guinness World Record website, Adebanjo achieved this remarkable record on January 14, 2024, twerking non-stop for an impressive three hours and thirty minutes.
Adebanjo’s motivation for attempting this record went beyond personal achievement, as he aimed to raise awareness for depression and push beyond his comfort zone.

This achievement has sparked a mix of reactions on social media, with many users congratulating Adebanjo on his record-breaking feat. The trend of attempting Guinness World Records has gained significant momentum in West Africa, with individuals seeking validation and recognition through record-breaking attempts. However, experts warn of the potential dangers associated with this craze, particularly among young people.
Adebanjo’s record-breaking twerking feat has undoubtedly made headlines, but it also serves as a reminder of the importance of self-awareness and the need for recognition in today’s society.
