According to Asamoah Gyan, he and Mzbel lived in the same neighbourhood and over the years created a brother-sister relationship which has lasted till date.
“People are not aware of the relationship between myself and Mzbel, but we go way back. I met her around 2005 and looking from then till today, 2022, you can see we have been friends for long.
“From where we are having this event, my father lived on the next lane so this is where I grew up. Between myself and Mzbel we know ourselves very well. When my late mother passed, she showed me love like a sister and beyond the Mzbel that everyone knows her to be, she is like a sister to me. So I am here as a brother to support her,” Asamoah Gyan stated.
