Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan is making headlines again this time, not for his legendary goals, but for his transition into agribusiness and traditional leadership.
A viral video circulating on social media shows the ex-football star touring his poultry farm, elegantly dressed in regal Ghanaian traditional attire, complete with intricate embroidery and a crown-like headpiece.
Gyan, affectionately known as Baby Jet, was seen inspecting rows of well-maintained chickens with the poise of someone fully embracing a new role.

The video comes shortly after he referred to himself as “Nana Asamoah” in a post on X (formerly Twitter), hinting at his evolving identity and growing leadership ambitions.
For many Ghanaians, this marks a powerful shift.
What was once a football story is now becoming a tale of economic empowerment, job creation, and cultural influence.
His poultry farm, which is said to employ many locals, is being hailed as a symbol of his post-football legacy.
