Popular American streamer IShowSpeed has stirred up fresh online drama after boldly declaring that Nigeria’s jollof rice is better than Senegal’s, reigniting the never-ending West African “jollof wars.”
According to the report, Speed made the statement during his visit to Nigeria as part of his African tour, where he’s been meeting fans and experiencing local food and culture. His comment immediately triggered excitement among Nigerian fans, who celebrated the endorsement as a major win in the long-running debate about which country makes the best jollof.
As expected, the claim also sparked reactions online, with many people defending Senegal’s version and others jumping in to back Nigeria’s signature smoky, spicy “party jollof” style.
