Man twerks for over 3 hours for mental health awareness, wins Guinness record. Watch video

Nigerian dancer Babajide Israel Adebanjo has danced his way into the Guinness World Records! Adebanjo’s January twerking marathon, held in Lagos, Nigeria, has officially earned him the title for the longest duration twerking—an impressive 3 hours and 30 minutes of non-stop moves.

This record-breaking feat wasn’t just about the dance for Adebanjo. It was a heartfelt mission to raise awareness about depression and the importance of mental health. Stepping out of his comfort zone, Adebanjo wanted to show the world that even the most unconventional achievements can have a powerful message. "No record is too crazy, too big, too great or too little to achieve. There is always space for everyone and their unique attributes," he passionately shared.

Adebanjo took to TikTok to share the exhilarating news with his followers. In a video post, he displayed the acceptance email from Guinness World Records, expressing his excitement and gratitude. "We are beyond thrilled to announce that our record-breaking achievement has been officially recognized by Guinness World Records," he wrote.



The post also extended heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported him throughout this journey. "We're incredibly proud to have set a new standard in twerking, and we couldn't have done it without your energy, enthusiasm, and support," Adebanjo wrote, acknowledging the community that cheered him on.

Adebanjo’s achievement is more than just a new record, it is a celebration of determination and a call to action for mental health awareness.
