A few things to consider.

Just because a continent holds the record for having a single place that recorded the highest temperature, this does not mean that it is representative of the whole continent.

For example, the second highest recorded daytime temperature was in Death Valley in the USA, this does not make it representative of the entire North American continent (e.g. Alaska and Canada).

The outright winner would be Africa (which also holds the record for the highest recorded temperature), due to the high number of other recorded temperatures over most of the area the continent.

The current records are:

136 °F (57.8 °C) El Azizia, Libya on 13 Sep 1922.

134 °F (56.7 °C) Death Valley, USA on July 10, 1913

132.8 °F (56.0 °C ) Tanzania

131 °F (55.0 °C) Somalia

Africa is the hottest continent. Africans have the deepest tone, darkest skin, and nappy hair so it would have to be the hottest continent.
The hottest continent in the world is believed to be Africa. This is because it has several countries known for high temperatures.

Africa is the hottest continent. In the summer, some parts see virtually no rainfall and temperatures way above 100 degrees.
