According to broadcaster Caleb Nii Boye, the Asantehene featured in the 50th edition of the famed Pirelli calendar.

CNN affirmed that the Otumfuo was featured in the 2024 Pirelli Calendar, in its November 30, 2023 report, which listed the Asantehene as one of the headlines of the magazine including Idris Elba, Angela Bassett and Pirelli habitué Naomi Campbell.

This edition of the Pirelli Calendar was shot by 28-year-old Prince Gyasi, who is said to be a grandson of Asantehene.

Prince Gyasi is the first black and the first African photographer to shoot the calendar in its long and storied history.
