Ghanaian musician Reggie Rockstone disclosed that his team had fully prepared waakye for IShowSpeed, but the influencer never showed up.

According to him, the Deputy CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Abeiku Santana, had earlier informed them that their popular food joint was among the places IShowSpeed was scheduled to visit.

Reggie and Zilla explained that they planned extensively to welcome the streamer, but due to time constraints and other engagements, the visit never happened.

"So we were all set up, the food was ready, music was playing, the atmosphere was perfect, and we were waiting,” Reggie said.

Reggie further revealed that after initially receiving a cancellation call from IShowSpeed’s team, they were left confused when advanced security later showed up to assess the location. Eventually, they received a final confirmation that Speed would not be making the stop.

Despite the disappointment, Rockstone said he understood the situation, noting that the streamer was likely exhausted after an intense schedule.

"That boy was tired. He is human. When I saw all that he was doing out there, he could have probably collapsed. At least he knows about us that’s all that matters,” he said. Reggie also used the moment to jokingly address the long-standing Ghana–Nigeria jollof rivalry.

"We have to stop the fight. We have our waakye, and we have to move with that narrative,” he added.
