The over fourteen-year-old luxury SUV, once a symbol of the footballer’s lavish lifestyle, was seen parked among other vehicles undergoing repairs at the shop.
This has prompted discussions on the fleeting nature of material wealth, fame, and the realities of life.
"See where Baby Jet’s Hummer has landed. Someone said it’s all vanity. You people are using ohia to just talk and do anyhow huh? But when was the last time you saw a Hummer on the road?" an X user who shared the video of the vehicle wrote.

It seemed to be one of his favourites among his fleet of cars. Asamoah Gyan was spotted at some events with the plush vehicle, often drawing attention to its sleek design.
The vehicle, a Hummer 2, with a customised registration number plate “B-JET 33-11” cost around $200,000 (approximately GH₵1.3 million at the time).
The current state of the vehicle is not as pristine as before, as it was spotted at a mechanic shop with two of its tyres not in place.
