Short-statured Guinean singer and internet sensation Grand P has once again found himself at the center of online chatter—this time for stepping onto a football pitch alongside some of Africa’s most celebrated football icons. He joined Emmanuel Adebayor, El Hadji Diouf, and others for a star-studded friendly match that blended entertainment, nostalgia, and a fair dose of humor.
Famous for his high-profile relationship with Ivorian model Eudoxie Yao and his unique personality, Grand P surprised many with his football appearance. While his actual performance on the field wasn’t the main attraction, his outfit quickly became a viral sensation. Photos of him in an oversized blue football jersey tucked into shorts that nearly touched his ankles had fans in stitches, with many joking that the shirt seemed to be wearing him instead of the other way around.
Images captured from the game showed Grand P sharing light moments with Adebayor and other legends. In one, he was seen making Adebayor laugh with what appeared to be a witty comment. In another, the footballer showed him how to properly stretch before the match began. It was a wholesome, humorous interaction that reflected the warm camaraderie between Grand P and the football veterans.
Reactions to the match flooded social media. While many admired Grand P for mingling with football greats, a sizable chunk of fans zeroed in on his wardrobe. Some jokingly questioned whether he was wearing a dress or a jersey, while others lightheartedly urged the organizers to consider getting him custom-fitted sportswear next time. Several fans took the opportunity to praise his presence on the pitch, calling it a testament to the influence of wealth and charisma.
Comments like “The ball is even bigger than you,” and “Are you wearing the shirt, or is it wearing you?” captured the tone of the discussion—amused, affectionate, and impressed by his confidence.
Beyond his surprise football appearance, Grand P has also been turning heads with his love life. Following a much-publicized and turbulent relationship with Eudoxie Yao—which saw multiple breakups and reconciliations—he has since moved on. His current partner, Mariame, has been appearing alongside him in matching traditional attire that celebrates their cultural roots. The couple recently stepped out in lime-green outfits that drew praise from fans for their stylish coordination and chemistry.
Grand P wore a flowing green robe adorned with brown embroidery, while Mariame complemented his look with a figure-hugging green dress accented with gold floral designs. A heartwarming moment where Grand P helped her into a car had fans applauding his chivalry, noting that despite his stature, his presence and personality tower above many.
From the football field to fashion runways of social media, Grand P continues to capture attention wherever he goes. Whether it’s for his bold fashion choices, charming love life, or his unexpected forays into sports, the Guinean star remains a magnetic figure who defies expectations and embraces the spotlight with flair.
