Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has opened up about the challenges he’s faced throughout his career due to his “realness” and refusal to conform.

In a recent online rant, Gyan drew parallels between himself and fellow Ghanaian icon, Shatta Wale, highlighting their shared experiences of facing opposition for staying true to themselves.

Gyan explained that his genuine nature often leads to misunderstandings and disrespect, despite his numerous achievements. “I’ve achieved more than some of my colleagues, but when I see them, I respect them. Because I respect them, they try to disrespect me and take me for granted,” he said. “That is how Shatta Wale is.”

Gyan recounted how Shatta Wale, after the massive success of his “Bandana” track, faced a backlash from the music industry for his non-conformist attitude. “He didn’t comply with the industry’s expectations,” Gyan explained. “They cut his music off from the mainstream media and sabotaged him to the point where he went broke.”

Gyan’s message emphasizes the importance of authenticity and resilience in the face of adversity. Both he and Shatta Wale, despite facing numerous challenges and opposition, have remained true to themselves, demonstrating the strength of individuality in an often-conforming world.
