Memphis Depay has recently found himself at the center of a social media storm after sharing a video highlighting his holiday and humanitarian visit to Ghana.
The backlash per our findings, stemmed from his choice of song, which featured Nigerian singer Asake’s popular track.
The unexpected pairing sparked a flurry of comments from Instagram users, expressing their dissatisfaction with the song selection.
Depay’s video showcased his experiences in Ghana, capturing moments of joy, cultural immersion, and charitable endeavors.
However, it was the inclusion of Asake’s song that ignited controversy among viewers. The unexpected fusion of the Ghanaian visuals with a Nigerian track seemed odd to many, leading to a heated debate in the comments section.
