Black Stars midfielder Mohammed Kudus found himself in an uncomfortable situation after being repeatedly criticised by Frank Kwaku Appiah, also known as Appiah Stadium, a well-known supporter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The West Ham United player eventually responded to the accusations, as Appiah Stadium continuously blamed him for not delivering his best performances for the national team.
The incident occurred at Prempeh I International Airport while Kudus and the Black Stars squad were preparing for their flight to Morocco for their upcoming match against Niger.
Initially, Kudus was happily interacting with airport staff, taking photos with them, when Appiah Stadium began his harsh commentary, questioning why Kudus couldn’t replicate his stellar club form with the Black Stars.
Although Kudus tried to ignore the criticisms at first, focusing on the fans, the relentless negative comments from Appiah Stadium eventually provoked him to respond.

Fed up with the conduct of Appiah Stadium, Kudus retorted, “Do you need the goals more than me?”
Airport staff and some Ghanaians who were present urged Appiah Stadium to stop harassing the footballer, but Appiah Stadium would have none of that.
Kudus eventually left the scene to join his teammates and coaches, who flew out to Morocco on Saturday, September 7, 2024.
The Black Stars will, on Monday, September 9, take on Niger in their second game of the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The Black Stars lost their opening game 0-1 to Angola at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
