Some musicians are gradually disclosing how Asamoah Gyan gave them financial support in one way or the other in their career path.
It appears that the former Black Stars Captain is a ‘serial benefactor’ and this can be deduced from the gravity of support he has offered others.
Although social media have witnessed a number of celebrities announcing their ‘kind gestures’ to others publicly, some prefer to keep a low profile while helping others who are dear to their hearts.
Asamoah Gyan happens to fall in the category of celebrities who give out without ever posting a single picture on social media.
Interestingly, two astute celebrities have come out to narrate how they have benefited from the footballer’s benevolence.
There could be other ‘celebrity beneficiaries’ the public isn’t privy to.
