McBrown (L) and Muntari (R) during the show
Former Black Stars player Sulley Ali Muntari has become the centre of conversation on social media after making a surprise revelation during an appearance on Nana Ama McBrown’s cooking show, McBrown’s Kitchen.
The 2010 UEFA Champions League winner stunned both the host and viewers when he comfortably spoke fluent Twi on the live show, contrary to long-held public perception that he couldn’t speak the local dialect.
During their chat, McBrown, visibly surprised, paused to ask if Muntari was indeed fluent in Twi, referencing circulating reports that suggested otherwise.
Muntari responded with a smile and dropped the quote that has since gone viral.
“How can someone from Kumasi not speak Twi? I almost became a linguist,” he said.
The moment caught many off guard, especially given Muntari’s typically reserved media presence and limited public interviews in local languages.
McBrown, taken aback by the revelation, exclaimed in disbelief, noting how effortlessly Muntari navigated the language throughout the conversation.
Since the show aired, many Ghanaians have taken to social media to express shock and admiration, with clips of the moment trending on various platforms.
The video has sparked humorous debates and renewed interest in Muntari’s background and upbringing in Kumasi.
For fans used to seeing Muntari as the stern midfield general on the pitch, this warm, humorous side, delivered in flawless Twi, was a refreshing surprise.
