Liberia has become embroiled in a heated debate as controversial claims about the parentage of Ivorian football star Franck Kessie have emerged. The question on everyone’s lips is: Who is Franck Kessie’s real mother? The conflicting assertions have ignited a fiery discussion within the football community and beyond.

The controversy began when Nancy Pyne, a woman from Liberia, boldly declared herself to be the biological mother of the acclaimed midfielder. However, these claims have faced staunch opposition from Gustave Bailly, an influential Ivorian football administrator, and the West African Football Union (WAFU) coordinator. Bailly vehemently refutes Pyne’s assertions, asserting that her story is a fabrication.

Tuesday, May 9, 2023, viral posts surfaced on social media with Madam Nancy Pyne being interviewed by an OK FM journalist. In the interview, she claimed that she was the biological mother of Franck and another son identified as Andy.

After the interview went viral, Bailly expressed his frustration with the false claims circulating in Liberia. He clarified that he is, in fact, Kessie’s uncle and took him under his wing following the untimely demise of his father when he was just 12 years old. According to Bailly, Kessie’s true biological mother is Djedje Nathalie, who currently resides in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

“I took him( Kessie) to Stella Football club, then he was invited by Atalanta Bergoma in Italy, then to Cesena also in Italy, then AC Milan, and now Barcelona. He has no link to anyone as his mother in Liberia,” Bailly said.

Despite Bailly’s strong denial, Nancy Pyne’s claims continue to gain attention. An anonymous source revealed that Pyne might have a point and could indeed be telling the truth. This insider, freshly arrived from Ivory Coast, disclosed that Kessie’s mother, Nathalie, married his father after the player had already left Liberia for Ivory Coast to pursue his education. The source further hinted at potential scandalous revelations concerning Kessie’s age that may emerge should foreign news outlets become involved.

The dispute intensifies with each passing day, leaving fans and the public eagerly awaiting a resolution to the mystery surrounding Franck Kessie’s real mother. While the physical resemblance between Pyne and Kessie has led some to question the validity of the claims, others argue that shared features among Africans could explain the similarity.

As the controversy unfolds, journalists and the public have pondered the possibility of arranging an interview or meeting with Bailly to shed more light on the matter. Additionally, some speculate whether Kessie himself may provide further insights into his family background during a potential vacation in Liberia later this year.
