IShowSpeed rates Ghana Jollof: Fans erupt over shock vs Nigeria choice

​Story Highlights

American YouTuber IShowSpeed created a scene in Accra on January 26, 2026, while tasting Ghana Jollof. The streamer attempted to settle the food rivalry but sparked outrage when he leaned toward the Nigerian version. He later claimed he was too hungry to judge fairly.

​American YouTuber IShowSpeed caused a massive stir in Accra on January 26, 2026. The internet star attempted to settle the heated culinary battle between Ghana and Nigeria.

​Crowds gathered to watch him taste the local version of Jollof rice. However, his final verdict left many fans confused and screaming.

​The moment of truth

​Speed took a large bite of the meal while standing in front of a foam pit. The crowd chanted his name as he chewed the rice slowly.

​He told the camera that he had found a winner. The streamer then screamed and performed a backflip into the foam pit.

​Fans immediately swarmed around the pit to hear his decision. They demanded to know if Ghana had beaten their rivals.

​A controversial choice

​Speed hesitated at first and claimed the contest might be a tie. He told his entourage that his extreme hunger affected his taste.

​The guide pushed him to make a choice between the two nations. Speed then shocked the crowd with his answer.

​”I might have to go with Nigeria,” Speed said to the disappointed fans. This follows a pattern, as IShowSpeed sparks debate after rating Nigerian Jollof above Liberian rice earlier this week.

​Confusion ends the show

​The crowd reacted with loud shouts and pushed closer to the streamer. Speed quickly backtracked and shouted that he did not know the answer.

​He insisted that both dishes tasted good to him. The situation became chaotic as security tried to manage the fans.

​His tour has faced other issues, notably when Solomon Buchi slams organizers of IShowSpeeds Nigeria visit regarding cultural respect. The Jollof debate remains unsettled for now.

IShowSpeed sparks debate after rating Nigerian jollof above Liberian rice

​Story Highlights

American streamer IShowSpeed caused a stir in Liberia on January 24, 2026, after tasting local jollof rice. While he rated the meal an eight out of ten, he openly declared that the Nigerian version tastes better, drawing loud disapproval from the surrounding crowd.

​The viral sensation touched down in Monrovia to continue his West African tour. Fans surrounded him as he prepared to taste the country’s famous dish.

​He took a large bite of the rice and reacted to the heat instantly. The streamer fanned his mouth and paced around while the crowd watched closely.

​The spicy verdict

​Speed chewed the food rapidly and called out the spice level. He asked the vendor about the meat before taking another spoonful to be sure.

​The crowd waited for his final score with high hopes. He nodded his head and told them the rice was good.

“I give it an eight out of ten,” he told the cheering group.

​However, the mood changed quickly when he shared his full thought. He paused and told the fans he had to be honest with them.

“It is good, but I think Nigeria is better,” Speed said.

​Jollof wars reignited

​The crowd shouted “No” immediately and waved their hands at him. They rejected his claim as he tried to explain his point of view.

​This moment adds fuel to the long debate over which nation makes the best rice. Speed recently visited Nigeria where he ignored Peller in Lagos during a chaotic stay.

​His honest take in Liberia shows he still prefers the taste from his previous stop. Fans know he also rejected collaborations with Peller to focus on organic content.

​The streamer laughed off the boos and kept eating the meal. His tour continues to draw massive crowds across the continent despite the clashes.

Last Friday, she broke the Guinness World Record for cooking the largest ever pot of the spiced tomato dish, which weighed in at 8,780 kilograms (more than 19,000 pounds). Afterwards, the rice was distributed to spectators. Here's more from @AssociatedPress.
