Atumpan’s smash hit ‘The Thing’ has faced lots of criticisms as cross section of the general public felt it didn’t deserve any nominations at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards because of the sexual suggestive lyrics.
Atumpan might be smiling now to get a major endorsement of the song from one of the biggest defenders in the history of football.
Anton Ferdinand, the younger brother of Manchester United and England defender, Rio Ferdinand is expected to fly to down to Ghana to be part of the 5th edition of the ‘Stars Soccer Fiesta Reloaded’ in Kumasi on June 24.

Ahead of that, his senior brother- Rio Ferdinand has shown love to one of the artistes in the country. The defender tweeted this morning that, Atumpan’s ‘The Thing’ is his song of the day.
He tweeted via his official Twitter handle @rioferdy5 “Song of the day so far: The Thing by Atumpan…. #AfroBeats”.
This is not surprising since the chorus is in English – which means, any English speaking person can sing, understand and relate to it.
