'Yes' - Guinness World Records confirms man's twerking record

A Nigerian man has thrown social media into a frenzy after he broke the Guinness World Record for the longest duration of twerking by an individual.

The man, identified as Babajide Isreal Adebanjo, was confirmed as the new record holder by the Guinness World Record on its official website.

On 14 January 2024, Babajide Isreal Adebanjo twerked non-stop for three hours and thirty minutes.

According to GWR, Babajide saw the record attempt as a personal opportunity to step outside of his comfort zone and to bring attention to the plight of those who suffer from depression worldwide.

“No record is too insane, large, ambitious, or modest to be accomplished. Everybody and their special qualities have a place,” Babajide shared as his message.
