Asamoah Gyan reportedly blocks Stonebwoy
Speaking candidly, Stonebwoy, born Livingstone Etse Satekla, shared that despite once being close, he recently discovered Gyan had blocked him on social media.
"I have big brothers I respect a lot. I have Emmanuel Adebayor as one of those [I respect], and of course, Asamoah Gyan. He has been a big brother from time. I hardly hear from him lately, but the last time I checked, I was blocked," he revealed.
Even with the silent treatment, the BHIM Nation boss insisted he still holds the ex-footballer in high regard and considers him a long-time ally.

Stonebwoy’s revelation sparked plenty of reactions online.
While some sympathised with him, others sided with Gyan or simply found humour in the situation. Here are a few reactions compiled from X:
@Dawson_Blaud slammed the former Black Stars captain:
“Asamoah Gyan is an emotional guy; that’s why he talks plenty when he’s pissed.”
@Natold_69 aimed a dig at Stonebwoy:
“Asamoah Gyan doesn't need fake niggas around him.”
@quabena_john sided with Gyan's silent treatment of the BHIM Nation boss:
“He should block him again.”

“Stonebwoy has also blocked someone, which is normal. 🫵🏿”
@kwadwovirtue summed up with a Twi slang:

Asamoah Gyan and Stonebwoy's friendship
The apparent fallout comes as a surprise to many, considering how close the two once were.
In 2023, Stonebwoy publicly thanked Gyan for coming to his aid during a tough period.

After losing his mother, Stonebwoy had to undergo surgery on his leg in Germany back in 2016. He later revealed that it was the former Al Ain and Sunderland striker who covered the full cost of the procedure, as noted by Ghanasoccernet.
“Time flies, but I can never forget,” he shared in a heartfelt post at the time.
Gyan, in response, simply said he was happy to have helped the artist when he needed support the most.
Their bond didn’t end with that gesture. In 2018, just two years after the surgery, Stonebwoy and Gyan worked together on a track titled Dirty Enemies, which quickly became a fan favourite, per Afrofire.
As of now, Asamoah Gyan has not responded publicly to Stonebwoy’s comments or explained why he chose to cut ties online.
Fans, however, remain curious and hopeful that whatever happened between the two can one day be resolved.
Ex-footballer details how he helped Stonebwoy

Tagoe revealed that he backed Stonebwoy's music journey by offering access to his mansion and vehicles.
However, the 38-year-old admitted that their friendship has cooled in recent times.
