On Wednesday, January 28, 2026, social media erupted after Lily Mohammed and Louisa Laryea, the 52-year-old wife of veteran media personality Israel Laryea, engaged in a heated exchange.
American streamer IShowSpeed visited Ghana on Monday, January 26, 2026, as part of his 28-day tour to experience the various cultures of the African continent.
After the streamer's departure from Ghana, Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa announced that his ministry had approved the issuance of a Ghanaian passport to him. The decision to issue a passport to IShowSpeed did not go down well with Lily.
The media personality slammed the foreign affairs minister and questioned the relevance of the streamer's visit to Ghana in a verbal tirade on GHOne TV's morning show.
Louisa Laryea and Lily Mohammed's online banter
Following her rant, the wife of veteran journalist Israel Laryea, Louisa Laryea, took to social media to slam her choice of words.
"Journalism goes way beyond make-up, skin bleaching, BBL, hair, and fashion. Journalists ought to research, court the facts, interrogate data, and demonstrate sound reasoning. IShowSpeed_MattersArising," she wrote.
Shortly after her post, Lily Mohammed clapped back in a combative post that cast aspersions against Louisa.
She described her submission as ‘unintelligent’ and accused her of parading herself around as a pillar of journalism in Ghana simply because of her husband's reputation.
She wrote:
"I would have very much been open to a discourse with you, but seeing as you have absolutely no substance in that capacity, it would be a complete waste of my time. I do hope you take a GOOD LOOK at yourself in the mirror, next time you want to be as condescending as you have been with your distasteful post.”
Lily's post also drew subsequent responses from Louisa, who claimed that her earlier post was not aimed at the GHOne TV presenter.
