Arsenal fans devastated as Gabriel or Aubameyang ‘announcement video’ filmed at Emirates turns out to be rapper
ARSENAL fans have been left majorly underwhelmed after a supposed “announcement video” being filmed at the Emirates turned out to be nothing of the sort.
Gunners supporters continue to wait anxiously on both the arrival of £27million defender Gabriel Magalhaes and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s contract extension.
But they thought the wait was finally over when a fan sparked huge excitement during a stadium tour.
He filmed an unknown figure standing in front of a camera on the Emirates pitch while wearing the new Arsenal away shirt.
Uploading the footage to Reddit, he captioned it: “I’m on a stadium tour and they’re filming Aubameyang in the new away kit.
“New contract incoming.”

But after a string of detective work on Twitter, fans finally realised the man was, in fact, a rapper called Yizzy filming a music video.
Yizzy later confirmed their disappointment with a selfie on Instagram of himself inside the Emirates.
He then took to Twitter to joke: “If you wanna know whether Aubameyang has signed or not. Go pre-order my song Thierry Henry.”
Fans couldn’t hide their disappointment with one writing: “I can’t believe you’ve done this.”
Another added: “You have got to be f****** kidding me.
“All this time we’re arguing over whether it is Gabriel or Auba, only for it to be some wasteman rapping.”
A third said: “Yizzy chose the worst possible time.”
