On January 26, 2026, Ghanaians were all joyful after the YouTuber finally touched down in the country after touring African nations, including Nigeria, South Africa, and the Republic of Benin.
Many people, who eagerly awaited the arrival of the streamer, stormed the Kotoka International Airport to give him a warm welcome.
A convoy of vehicles also did a splendid job by escorting him to his hotel, with a massive crowd, including Ghanaian influencers, meeting him at the Independence Square (Black Star Square).
IShowSpeed enjoys the rich Ghanaian culture
Upon arrival, IShowSpeed travelled to Akropong, where he began his stream, receiving a loving welcome from the people of the town, including the MP for the Akuapem North constituency, Sammy Awuku.
The streamer had a great experience in the town, including a traditional massage from some Akropong ladies while enjoying the view of the Asenema Waterfalls.
Speed also experienced the rich culture after visiting the Akuapem King's Palace, where a customary ceremony was performed, and the name Berimah Kofi Akuffo was bestowed on him.
However, despite the numerous moments of high-energy fun, two incidents sparked fear and panic among Ghanaians.

Fortunately, a Ghanaian pilot acted swiftly to prevent a potential tragedy, warning the streamer, who ducked down
IShowSpeed later expressed his gratitude to the pilot after the incident, which left many netizens holding their breath.

Speed almost gave Ghanaians a heart attack when he tried his signature backflip on top of the Black Star Gate at the Independence Square.
Although netizens know how good the streamer is with the move, there was concern that if he lost his balance, it could lead to a serious injury.
Ghanaians pleaded with IShowSpeed not to try his signature backflip, but he persisted and ended up performing it successfully, prompting elation.
