This achievement means that Nigerian chef Hilda Baci, who held the record earlier this year, has been dethroned. Her record stood at 93 hours and 11 minutes, which had sparked a sensation in Nigeria, inspiring others to attempt similar world records, from non-stop crying to singing.
Hilda Baci expressed her motivation for pursuing the record, stating, "I just knew that I need to do something that is… out of the ordinary to put myself on the map, to put Nigeria on the map, to put young African women on the map." She credited previous record-holders as a source of inspiration.
