Why Lily Mohammed Blasted Okudzeto Ablakwa

Lily Mohammed lashed out at Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, after he announced that IShowSpeed would be granted a Ghanaian passport.

Reacting on her show, she questioned the basis for the decision, arguing that the streamer’s short visit to the country did not warrant such preferential treatment.

During his live stream on January 26, 2026, IShowSpeed revealed that he could trace his maternal ancestry to Ghana and described himself as a proud son of the motherland. He also expressed interest in buying a house in Ghana to make future visits easier.

However, Lily Mohammed maintained that while IShowSpeed’s visit generated excitement online, it did not offer tangible benefits to Ghana that justified issuing him a passport.

Lily Mohammed Clashes With Israel Laryea’s Wife

The controversy escalated after Louisa Laryea, the 52-year-old wife of award-winning Ghanaian journalist Israel Laryea, weighed in on the matter on Facebook. Louisa criticised Lily Mohammed’s comments, suggesting that journalism goes beyond physical appearance and should be rooted in research, facts, and sound reasoning.

“Journalism goes way beyond makeup, skin bleaching, BBL, hair and fashion. Journalists ought to research, court the facts, interrogate data and demonstrate sound reasoning,” she wrote.

In response, Lily Mohammed fired back, stating that she was disappointed by the comment and did not expect such remarks from someone married to one of Ghana’s most respected journalists.

“One would have expected an intelligent comment from someone that touts herself as the same, but you chose to stoop this low,” Lily said.

She further added that being married to a journalist does not automatically make one a journalist, stressing that “the profession is not sexually transmitted.”

Lily Mohammed concluded her response by stating that she was open to intellectual discourse but found Louisa Laryea’s remarks lacking substance. She urged her critic to “take a good look in the mirror” before making future comments, ending her post with a dramatic “drops mic.”
