From Marseille to Monaco: How the Kofi Mole Balotelli Song Spread
The first big moment came when Marseille shared a compilation of Balotelli’s goals from his time at the Stade Vélodrome, with Kofi Mole’s song as the soundtrack. Halmblog reported the Marseille tribute video on Saturday.
The club did not explain why it chose the track. The connection, however, is easy to see, as the song carries the striker’s name.
According to 3News, the Marseille reel tags Kofi Mole and credits the audio to him. The caption simply reads “Mario Balotelli”, followed by the Italian and Ghanaian flags.
Monaco Uses the Song for Mohammed Salisu
On the same Friday, AS Monaco posted its own reel with the song. This time, the focus was not Balotelli but Mohammed Salisu, the Ghana international centre-back who plays for the club.
Monaco’s caption read “Mohammed Salisu” with a Ghana flag, and it carried a music tag of @kofi_mole, 3News reported.
Below is the Monaco reel featuring the Black Stars defender.

Salisu was ruled out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in February after suffering an ACL injury, according to 3News.
Ligue 1’s Official Page Used It First
The two clubs were not the first to use the track in France. 3News noted that the official Ligue 1 McDonald’s Instagram account posted a Balotelli video dated November 12, a day before the club posts, also tagging Kofi Mole.
Kofi Mole Reacts to Monaco and Marseille Posts
The rapper did not hide his excitement. In a post on his verified X account on Friday, he wrote: “BRO! BOTH MONACO AND MARSEILLE POSTING MY SONG ON THEIR INSTAGRAM PAGES RN!!! 😭❤️🔥🔥🔥”

Ghanamotion also carried the rapper’s post in its report on the Marseille tribute.
About the ‘Balotelli (Supa)’ Song
The track is listed on streaming platforms as ‘Balotelli (Supa)’. It opens Kofi Mole’s 4 DA POPPIN’ EP, which was released on September 4, 2026.
The song has been doing well at home. Ghanamotion reported that on Saturday morning it stood at No. 9 on Apple Music’s Top Songs chart in Ghana, a list where Ghanaian rap has been strong lately, as seen when Kweku Smoke took 13 spots on Apple Music’s Top 20 Ghana.
Kofi Mole has also been busy on features. He appears on Quamina MP’s ‘Ɛshishi’, released earlier this month.
In September, the Kumasi-raised rapper told 3News he was creating again after a period away from new releases.
Why Ghanaians Claim Mario Balotelli
Mario Balotelli was born in Palermo, Italy, to Ghanaian parents, and many Ghanaians see him as one of their own. He played for Italy at international level.
He joined Marseille from OGC Nice in January 2019 and scored eight goals in 15 Ligue 1 appearances during his short spell at the club.
That background explains the Ghanaian flag placed beside the Italian one in Marseille’s caption.
For Kofi Mole, having one Ligue 1 club use his song was already a big moment. Two clubs, plus the league’s own page, in the space of two days has turned ‘Balotelli (Supa)’ into one of the most talked-about Ghanaian records of the week.
