Speaking in an interview, he indicated that the jollof was nice and dismissed claims suggesting that, because IShowSpeed performed a backflip into the food, it was not good for eating.

Criticism of Pizzaman Chickenman

Frank Duah Poku, the Customer Relationship Manager of Pizzaman Chickenman, who was at the event and presented the jollof rice to IShowSpeed, has meanwhile gone public over the incident.

In a post on his X page on January 26, Frank Duah Poku expressed astonishment over the reactions, adding that the review of one person does not negate the work of the food brand over the years.

“We’ve been feeding millions of Ghanaians since our existence, but you turn to thrash us because of an individual’s comment saying it’s a tie!” he wrote.
