Kobe Boujee, also known as Kobi Boujee, is one of Ghana's leading digital voices for youth culture.
His relatable videos, often delivered in Pidgin English, capture everyday Ghanaian experiences, history and culture.
Starting out around 2022, he shot his early videos entirely on his phone. Rapper Sarkodie later shared five of his videos in a single day, a move that helped grow his following. Currently, he has over 2.1 million followers on TikTok.
Kobe Boujee's role at Dakar 2026
According to AmeyawDebrah.com, Kobe Boujee will produce original digital content capturing the culture, spirit and competition of the Games.
His work will cover the build-up to the event and continue through live coverage in Dakar.
Video content, behind-the-scenes features and athlete-focused stories are among what he will create for Olympics.com's digital platforms.
Parts of the content will also appear on his own social media channels.
Kobe Boujee said in a statement shared by AmeyawDebrah.com:
"Being part of the Olympics.com team for Dakar 2026 is an incredible honour."
He added that the role went beyond content, describing it as a way to show young Africans that the global stage also belonged to them.
The content creator, who grew up feeling that the Olympics happened far away, said his focus would be on telling the stories of the young athletes, not just their results.
Kobe Boujee is expected to join the team in Dakar a few days before the Games begin.
