Derrick's foray in the United States

For Derrick, however, life in the U.S. isn’t just about the snow and social media banter.

He has had the chance to cover major events, including the 2024 Copa America, which took place in the United States last summer, per Ghanaweb.

Argentina emerged as champions after defeating Colombia in the final, but what made Derrick’s experience even more special was a rare moment with footballing legend Lionel Messi.

Ayim earlier shared the story with YEN.com.gh, explaining how he met Messi during the opening game of the Copa America 2024.

As the Canadian team passed through the mixed zone, the Argentinian squad made their way through next, and that’s when he saw Messi.

"But I was calm, though," Derrick recalled.

"I was stunned after the picture was taken. It was then that I realised I had fulfilled my 15-year-old dream. Because it was my prayer 15 years ago that I would meet him [Messi] before he retires."
