DJ Obi broke the same Guinness World Record back in 2016 when he completed a 24o-hour marathon in Lagos. He broke the previous record of 200 hours which was set by a Polish DJ, Norbert Selmaj in Dublin back in 2014.

According to the ruled for this particular record, any DJ attempting to break it is allowed a 5-minute break every hour and must have someone dancing at all times. The DJ must also not repeat the same song within 4 hours of playing it.
