He has been confirmed as the Guinness World Record holder for the Youngest Male Artist.
His attempt occurred in Accra between January 18 and January 20, 2024.
His feat as a GWR record-holder was announced at a press conference on Tuesday, May 14, 2024.
The confirmation letter from GWR read in part: "We are thrilled to inform you that your application for Youngest artist (male) has been successful and you are now the Guinness World Records Title Holder!"
