The Guinness World Record (GWR) has announced that the longest rap marathon (individual) lasted for 48 hours, 1 minute and 10 seconds.

The GWR revealed the record holder is a Japanese called PONEY.

PONEY set the record in Koto, Tokyo, Japan, between 22nd and 24th April 2023.

Read the GWR’s official statement, which is on their website, below:

PONEY is a Japanese rapper who frequently uses the phrase 'nice panic' in his rap and conversation.

This was PONEY's third attempt to break this record.

He first began this challenge to encourage the people of his hometown, Yamanashi, during the pandemic.

The first time, he had a technical difficulty and failed the attempt. The second time, he broke the record, but while he was preparing his evidence to be submitted, someone else surpassed his record.

He decided to do 48 hours for the third attempt to repay his debt of gratitude to those who have supported him, including his wife, in the first two attempts.
