For the past five years, DJ Pretty Play from Nigeria has had this big dream, but she put it on hold. It wasn’t that she didn’t want it badly enough. She was a bit scared, and the timing just didn’t feel right. Plus, she had some doubts about herself. But now, this DJ from Lagos is all set to go for it!
Mark your calendars for March 3, 2026, because that’s when DJ Pretty Play is going to try something amazing. She’s going to play music non-stop for 288 hours straight! Her goal? To smash the Guinness World Record for the Longest Marathon Club DJ-ing. As soon as she announced this, her fans and other artists went wild with excitement, cheering her on for being so brave.
This isn’t about being perfect, she wrote on social media. It’s about seeing how far I can go, trusting my gut, and sticking with it, even when things get tough.
DJ Pretty Play, whose real name is Princess Ntuk Williams, has been working on her music for years. She’s been perfecting her skills and playing at big events both in Nigeria and in other countries. She’s known for mixing Afrobeats, Amapiano, hip-hop, and Afro-house music, and she’s played at major concerts, award shows, and even corporate events. People know her for her energetic performances that really get the crowd going.
Trying to break the Guinness World Record is the result of all her hard work and preparation over the years. Her fans are already showing their support, sending her prayers and encouragement as she gets ready for this huge challenge. She says this isn’t just about her career; it’s also a personal thing. It’s about testing how strong she is, how disciplined she can be, and how passionate she is about her music.
This is a dream that I’ve been putting off for too long, she said. I’ve decided to stop waiting and start believing in myself again. But I can’t do this alone. I need my fans, my friends, and everyone who believes in me to be there with me.
Guinness World Records has some pretty strict rules for verifying these kinds of records. Usually, it involves playing music continuously under certain conditions, and there are specific break times allowed. DJ Pretty Play’s attempt will probably follow these rules, which include keeping track of her hours, having video proof, and having independent people there to witness it.
If she does it, she’ll be among a small group of DJs from around the world who have officially broken records for marathon DJing. It will also prove that she’s one of the top female DJs in Nigeria and will get more attention for Nigerian DJs worldwide.
Her fans and people who know a lot about music say that her attempt is really important. It not only shows how skilled she is but also lets the world know that Nigerian DJs are serious players in the international music scene.
The 288-hour marathon is scheduled to happen in Lagos, but we don’t know yet if it will be live-streamed or if people can come and watch. DJ Pretty Play has asked her fans to follow her on social media for updates, behind-the-scenes content, and live coverage as she gets closer to this historic event.
Because she’s been a consistent presence in the Nigerian music scene and her influence is growing internationally, DJ Pretty Play’s Guinness World Record attempt is already causing a stir on social media, music blogs, and entertainment news outlets.
