The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker has played 42 times for the Three Lions, scoring 16 goals.
Welbeck, who has Ghanaian roots, made his first senior appearance in an international friendly with the Black Stars back in 2011.
His family were against his decision to play against Ghana, in a match that ended 1-1 where Asamoah Gyan cancelled out an Andy Carrol goal.
Welbeck replaced Ashley Young in the second half, and admits he heard a lot of noise coming from the stands.
The striker explained on TNT: "My mom and dad are from Ghana. It was mad, it was like a bittersweet moment.
"Obviously I walk out at Wembley, coming on on the sidelines, I've a lot of family friends in the stand and coming on I heard a lot of boos.
"Speaking to my cousins after the game, they were like, yes, we were booing you."
