Popular American streamer and internet personality iShowSpeed has reignited the long-running Nigeria -Ghana Jollof rice rivalry after boldly declaring Nigerian Jollof rice superior during his recent visit to Ghana.
In a bid to win him over, Ghanaians prepared an enormous pot of Jollof rice jokingly described as Hilda Baci–sized to showcase their version of the beloved West African dish. Despite the grand gesture, iShowSpeed shocked onlookers by insisting that Nigerian Jollof still tastes better.
“Nigerian Jollof rice is better than Ghanaian Jollof rice,” the streamer declared, instantly setting social media ablaze and drawing laughter, outrage, and banter from fans across both countries.
The drama didn’t end there. In a moment that left many stunned and amused, iShowSpeed reportedly backflipped into the rice during the event.
Adding insult to injury videos later surfaced showing Ghanaians eating the same rice he had landed in, sparking even more reactions online.
