A new revelation by Ghanaian YouTuber and travel influencer WodeMaya has sparked widespread pride among Ghanaians, after he disclosed that the widely followed African tour of American internet sensation IShowSpeed was organised by a Ghanaian team.

The announcement, shared in a Facebook post alongside photos of IShowSpeed dressed in traditional Ghanaian attire, has generated excitement online and reinforced Ghana’s rising status as a key player in cultural tourism and digital storytelling across the continent.

The images captured the energetic streamer immersed in a colourful cultural gathering, drawing praise from fans who admired Ghana’s rich traditions and warm hospitality.

Many say the moment reflects how the country continues to shape global narratives about Africa through culture and entertainment.

According to WodeMaya, the tour was more than a celebrity visit — it was a carefully coordinated initiative designed to showcase Africa’s diversity and vibrancy to a worldwide audience.

“One thing you all don’t know is that IShowSpeed’s trip across 19 African countries was organised by Ghanaians,” he revealed, shedding light on the extensive behind-the-scenes planning that made the ambitious journey possible.

IShowSpeed’s tour, which attracted millions of viewers online, included visits to several countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Senegal.

However, Ghana’s central role in coordinating the experience has positioned the country as a leader in promoting African culture through global digital platforms.

Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with many Ghanaians expressing pride in the nation’s ability to manage a high-profile continental tour.

Others commended WodeMaya and the organising team for using entertainment as a bridge to encourage cross-cultural exchange and strengthen African unity.

The development further cements Ghana’s reputation as a destination for heritage and diasporic tourism, building on the success of initiatives like the “Year of Return” and “Beyond the Return” campaigns.

With influential voices like WodeMaya and international personalities like IShowSpeed amplifying Africa’s stories, Ghana continues to emerge as a gateway to the continent’s culture and identity.
