"I'm Asamoah Gyan, the way I hit the bar," said Dave, referring to the ex-footballer's 2010 World Cup penalty against Uruguay.

Gyan took to social media to react with a fire emoji, indicating that the song is a hit.

The UK Rapper is noted for his dexterous use of football references in his songs, having done so with players like Anthony Martial and Aaron Wan Bissaka of Manchester United.

This is the second time Burna Boy and Dave are working on a tune, with their first collaboration, Location, being a global hit.

Meanwhile, Gyan is also known for his love for music, having worked with some Ghanaian artists, including reggae-dancehall star, Stonebwoy.

The 37-year-old retired from football in June after an illustrious career spanning over two decades, as reported by the BBC.

Gyan picks Osimhen for AFOTY

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Gyan believes that Napoli and Nigeria striker, Victor Osimhen deserves to win the 2023 African Player of the Year award.

The Confederation of African Football will announce a new winner of the award later this year.

Sadio Mane is the current holder of the gong, after leading Senegal to Africa Cup of Nations success in 2022 as well as winning domestic trophies with Liverpool.

Gyan spotted at Okocha's birthday

Legendary African footballers turned up in Lagos recently for the 50th birthday celebration of mercurial Nigerian midfielder, Jay Jay Okocha.

The former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder was born in Enugu on August 14, 1973, and reached the golden jubilee milestone this week.

Okocha is regarded as one of Nigeria’s greatest footballers of all time, having achieved much on the field of play.
