Pinned summary · as of

Ghanaian Afrobeats artist King Promise has teamed up with English club Chelsea on a new song, "Can't Tame Us", aimed at the club's supporters in Africa. A music video filmed in Accra goes with the release, and reports say the track will be heard at Chelsea matches this season.

What we know

  • King Promise and Chelsea Football Club collaborated on "Can't Tame Us", a song presented as a tribute to the club's African supporters and to African culture.
  • King Promise described himself as a lifelong Chelsea fan. He said the song should capture the pride and passion of the club's followers across Africa, and that his attachment to the club goes back to watching Ghana's Michael Essien play there.
  • A music video accompanies the song and was shot in Ghana, with Accra named as the location.
  • The song is expected to be played at Chelsea games through the 2026/27 season, with YEN.com.gh citing SportyFM for home matches.

What's disputed / unconfirmed

  • Accounts differ on timing. ZionFelix said the video premieres on Wednesday, 30 September 2026, YEN.com.gh said the song came out in late September, and Chale News gave 1 October 2026 as the release date.
  • ZionFelix reported that Chelsea brand director Scott Fenton said King Promise brought the idea to the club himself. This has been attributed to the club's release but not reported by YEN.com.gh.
  • ZionFelix said the footage includes a football tournament King Promise hosted for local Chelsea fans under his Rent Paid initiative, which it says supports the Nungua Orphanage, and the Nungua SDA Park where he played as a boy. No other independent report covers these details.
  • YEN.com.gh reported that King Promise told SportyFM in September 2026 that he wrote the club's anthem for the coming campaign, one piece of a wider partnership that also takes in a documentary and a tournament.
  • YEN.com.gh also reported that Chelsea shared the video on its official X page, that King Promise and Omar Sterling of R2Bees attended the club's home match against Hull City, and that each was given a personalised shirt.

Why it matters for Ghana

Ghanaian supporters of the London club now see one of their own artists at the centre of a campaign aimed at them. The project also puts Accra locations and a community initiative in front of a global football audience.
