Ayew opens up on handling pressure from fame

During his lecture at the University of Ghana, Ayew was asked about how his fame endeared him to women and how he dealt with it.

According to the 34-year-old having a family early in his life helped him control some of the distractions that came with fame.

"That's a strong question," he responded. "It's not something you take it easily. It comes a lot. As a person when you get to a certain level, I would say a certain level but when society puts you in a certain status, you have different people around you, boys or girls. Everybody comes with their own mindset or plans," he said in a video shared on social media.
