IShowSpeed’s father, Darren Watkins Sr., took on a culinary challenge to settle one of West Africa’s most talked-about debates: which country makes the best jollof rice?
In the stream, Watkins Sr. was served two dishes — Nigerian jollof and Ghanaian jollof — without knowing which was which.
After tasting both, he decisively chose the Nigerian version, praising its rich flavor, smoky aroma, and bold seasoning. His verdict quickly went viral, sparking excitement and reactions across social media.
Unlike his son, who had compared the two styles during the African tour, this was Watkins Sr.’s first time trying both dishes, and his preference for Nigerian jollof added a fun, unexpected twist to the ongoing “jollof wars” debate.
IShowSpeed had his dad try Nigerian and Ghanaian jollof for the first time to settle the debate and just like Speed, he chose Nigerian 🇳🇬🔥❤️ pic.twitter.com/PhRS4plD9V
