Local And International Brands Now Want To Work With Me — Yaw Dabo Reveals Following “John Telly” Fame

Ghanaian actor Samuel Yaw Dabo, speaking in an interview upon his arrival at the airport in Ghana, has revealed that several local and international brands have contacted him for potential collaborations, adding to the wave of international interest he says has followed his viral “John Telly” moment from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Yaw Dabo explained that beyond the international attention his viral clip with former Chelsea and England captain John Terry generated, several brands within Ghana have since reached out to him directly, seeking to work with him following his newfound global visibility.

His remarks came shortly after he touched down in Ghana to a hero’s welcome, with excited fans and well-wishers gathering at the airport to greet him following weeks of international attention tied to his World Cup appearances and interactions with football stars including Terry and Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham.

Dabo did not disclose the specific names of the brands that have approached him or the nature of any deals currently under discussion.

This adds to the broader commercial fallout from Dabo’s viral fame, which has already seen him gain platform verification on TikTok and a significant boost to his social media following since the “John Telly” clip first surfaced.
