Ghanaian football legend Asamoah Gyan recently found himself at the center of attention after a video surfaced on social media showing him at a Techno event.
The event, which was attended by various celebrities, featured a custom blue carpet where guests were invited to take photos.
However, Gyan made waves when he arrived at the event and was asked to pose for a picture but declined.
The reason for his refusal? The former football star explained that he had not engaged in any discussions regarding an ambassadorial deal with Techno, and therefore felt it was not appropriate to pose for a photo.

Many have praised Gyan for standing up for his principles and highlighting the importance of doing things correctly in such partnerships.
