City celebrate Semenyo goal with R2Bees song
The tune choice carried weight. It spoke to heritage, background, and personal story rather than serving as a simple audio decoration.
Many followers applauded the gesture, calling it genuine and respectful instead of typical digital output.
This marked the second time City used music from Ghana to spotlight Semenyo, having earlier paired his maiden league strike with “Real Thing” by Kwesi Arthur and King Promise.
Watch the video:
That method follows a growing trend in England’s top division. West Ham often matched Mohammed Kudus' highlights with tracks from his homeland, while Tottenham continued a similar theme after his switch, even featuring King Paluta and Stonebwoy in media projects.
Stonebwoy later created a refix of "Overlord" to welcome Kudus, blending football with sound in a memorable way.
Watch the video:
City now seem to be walking a comparable road, using rhythm to strengthen bonds between athlete and fanbase.
R2Bees hold legendary status back home. The Tema-based pair, cousins Faisal Hakeem, known as Omar Sterling and Rashid Mugeez, shaped hip hop and hiplife for years with songs that filled speakers across the country.

Seeing their work linked to moments on a global sporting platform felt fitting to many viewers.

Semenyo's stats since joining Manchester City
On the pitch, his influence keeps growing. He became the first player since Sergio Aguero to score and assist on debut against Exeter, according to The Guardian.
Shortly after, he joined Emmanuel Adebayor as another City figure to find the net in successive appearances early in a spell.

A finish versus Spurs also matched Adebayor’s four goals in five games mark.
Those returns add punch to an already sharp frontline. Next up comes a cup meeting with Newcastle, where City carry a 2-0 lead into the second leg, per Sporting News.
Victory would book a Wembley date with Arsenal on March 22, repeating the 2018 final. For someone thriving on confidence, the stage looks perfect.
