<p>Afua Asantewaa sometime ago disclosed that she and her team decided to pay for the priority review after waiting for weeks and not receiving any official statement from Guinness World Record concerning her longest singing marathon attempt by an individual.</p>

<p>According to Afua, the fee for the priority review is $650 but there are other hidden charges – And because of this, she paid $750 in total.</p>
