Hilda Baci Left Shocked as IShowSpeed Rejects Nigerian Jollof, Declares Love for Ghanaian Jollof Instead

Reported By David Joshua | Sele Media Africa

Popular American streamer IShowSpeed has stirred controversy — and a cross-border culinary war — after publicly rejecting Nigerian Jollof rice, claiming he prefers Ghanaian Jollof.

In a recent encounter with celebrity chef and Guinness World Record holder Hilda Baci, Speed was offered a plate of Nigeria’s pride: its spicy, iconic Jollof rice. But to everyone’s surprise, he politely declined, stating:

⁠“I only eat Ghanaian Jollof. Nothing tastes better than that.”

The comment has left many Nigerians fuming and Hilda visibly disappointed, especially given the country’s longstanding Jollof rivalry with Ghana.

Speed reportedly plans to travel to Ghana just to indulge in more Jollof, intensifying the debate over which nation truly owns the crown.

Moral Lesson?
One man’s taste buds just ignited another round of the age-old Jollof war.
