Barely a week after the launch of Asamoah Gyan‘s autobiography, “LeGyanDary”, a battle over who released theirs first has begun.
The debate about who was the first Ghanaian to publish his memoirs gained flight on Twitter.
The subtle battle is between Asamoah Gyan’s manager and the spokesperson for the Ayew family.
Asamoah Gyan’s manager, Sammy Anim Addo, was involved in a verbal exchange with Fiifi Tackie on Tuesday, April 3, 2022.
Fiifi Tackie tweeted, dismissing notions that Asamoah Gyan is the first Ghanaian footballer to issue an autobiography.
The spokesperson of the Ayew family further added some archived photos to back his claim and solidify his point.
Furthermore, Fiifi revealed that the three-time African Player of the year had an autobiography written both in English and French.
He wrote, “The Maestro’ Abedi Ayew Pele’s Autobiography was written in 1992 in English and French versions.
Sammy Anim Addo later attacked Fiifi Tackie, claiming that the latter was attempting to detract from Gyan’s successful book launch.
Anim Addo couldn’t comprehend why Fiifi Tackie was making war on Abedi Pele simply because he despises the name Asamoah Gyan.
Ex-Senegalese international El Hadji Diouf had questioned why George Weah, Abed Pele and others had not written books.
