Former captain of the Black Stars, Asamoah Gyan, has responded to the recently released song by Burna Boy, featuring British rapper Dave.

The track, which was unveiled on Tuesday, includes a reference to the legendary Ghanaian footballer by Dave, who incorporated his name into the song's melodic rap.

The song, titled "Cheat on Me," is part of Burna Boy's upcoming album, scheduled for release on August 25th. It's anticipated to become a popular hit.

"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 share his reaction, using a fire emoji to express his endorsement of the song's popularity.

The UK rapper is recognised for skillfully incorporating football references into his music, as previously observed with players such as Manchester United's Anthony Martial and Aaron Wan Bissaka.

This marks Burna Boy and Dave's second collaboration, following their successful global hit "Location."

Meanwhile, Gyan's passion for music is also well-known, as he has collaborated with various Ghanaian artists, including reggae-dancehall star Stonebwoy.

At 37 years old, Gyan recently retired from professional football in June, concluding a distinguished career that spanned over two decades, as reported by the BBC.
