Ghanaians who reacted to the comments section of the video have shared different opinions on IShowSpeed’s decision to visit Ghana.

Miriam Musila indicated:

"Please tell Wode Maya he is not there for content creation but to show the beauty of Ghana. He did it in my motherland Kenya, and so far achieved the highest streams and subscribers. So if he doesn’t make time for him, he should not be angry like that Nigerian guy who took a horse. IShowSpeed is just a humble person who just wants to enjoy with the Gen Z."
