For five years, Nigerian DJ DJ Pretty Play has put one of her biggest dreams on hold not because she lacked ambition, but due to fear, timing, and self-doubt. Now, the Lagos-born DJ is ready to take the leap.

On March 3, 2026, DJ Pretty Play will attempt to play continuously for 288 hours, aiming to break the Guinness World Record for the Longest Marathon Club DJ-ing. The announcement comes as excitement builds among fans and fellow artists, who have praised her bold move.

“This isn’t about perfection,” she shared in a social media post. “It’s about pushing limits, leaning on faith, and trusting the process, even when it gets uncomfortable.”

DJ Pretty Play, whose real name is Princess Ntuk Williams, has spent years curating sound, developing her craft, and performing at major events both in Nigeria and abroad. Known for blending Afrobeats, Amapiano, hip-hop, and Afro-house, she has performed at high-profile concerts, award shows, and corporate events, building a reputation for energetic and immersive sets.

Her Guinness World Record attempt is the culmination of years of preparation. Fans have already begun rallying around her, offering prayers, support, and encouragement as she gears up for the unprecedented challenge. She described the effort as a personal journey as much as a professional one, noting that it’s about testing endurance, discipline, and passion.

“This is a dream I set aside for too long,” she said. “I’m choosing to stop waiting and start believing again. I can’t do this alone — I need my supporters, friends, and everyone who believes in me to stand with me.”

While Guinness World Records has strict verification requirements, marathon DJ records generally involve continuous music sets under monitored conditions, with breaks regulated by GWR rules. DJ Pretty Play’s attempt is expected to follow these guidelines, including documentation of her hours, video evidence, and independent witnesses.

If successful, she will join a select group of international DJs who have officially broken records for marathon DJing, further solidifying her position as one of Nigeria’s leading female DJs and raising the profile of Nigerian DJs on the global stage.

Fans and entertainment analysts have highlighted the significance of her attempt, noting that it not only showcases skill but also brings attention to Nigerian DJs as serious players in the international music industry.

The 288-hour marathon is scheduled to take place in Lagos, and details of live streaming or audience participation have yet to be announced. DJ Pretty Play has called on fans to follow her journey on her official social media channels, promising updates, behind-the-scenes content, and live coverage as she pushes toward this historic milestone.

With her consistent presence in the Nigerian music scene and her growing international influence, DJ Pretty Play’s Guinness World Record attempt is already generating buzz across social media, music blogs, and entertainment outlets.
