"I'm Asamoah Gyan the way I hit the bar," said Dave referencing Gyan's notorious penalty miss against Uruguay at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. 

Ghana were awarded the penalty after Luis Suarez handled the ball in the area, preventing a late Ghanaian winner but giving away a penalty in extra time. The penalty was Ghana's golden opportunity to proceed to the semi-final stage of the tournament.

Gyan would step up to take the penalty but blasted the ball against the bar. The game ended 1-1 after extra time and proceeded to a penalty shootout that Uruguay won 4-2. 

Followers reacted to the news, praising the lyrics and labelling the song as a 'banger' while others insinuated that Dave was 'taking a jab' at the Ghanaian icon. 

Gyan, however, seemed to be delighted at the UK rapper mentioning him in a song and reacted with fire emojis.
