Gyan slams Valentine's Day, insists it's fake

Every year on February 14, millions express love through gifts, flowers, and heartfelt messages, embracing the tradition with enthusiasm.

For many, it’s an opportunity to show appreciation in the most elaborate ways, per CBS News.

However, Gyan takes a different stance, questioning the authenticity of setting aside a single day to celebrate love.

The former Black Stars captain believes the concept is flawed, arguing that love should not be confined to one date on the calendar.

His remarks, shared via Instagram, reflect a perspective that challenges conventional thinking.

"Valentine's Day is a fake love day. Period. Love is supposed to be shown every day, not to wait for a particular day to show love. Smh," he posted.

Gyan's Valentine's Day argument: A thought-provoking perspective

While some may see his statement as harsh, his argument sparks a deeper conversation.

Should love be measured by the grandeur of gestures on one particular day, or should it be a consistent, everyday effort?

Gyan’s words may stir debate, but they also raise an important question: is true love about one special occasion, or is it defined by the moments shared throughout the year?
