"My shoot was happening at a shea butter museum. Immediately, we got there, they got to work and glammed me up. I went to the changing room and got my outfit. I was like, 'God, I beg, am I going to be wearing this?' but I wore it, and it looked good, and I felt ok."

Before the actual photoshoot started Kyerewaa said she and the other ladies were taught how to make shea butter. She recounted at which point they learnt IShowSpeed was coming for the shoot and the instructions they received.

Kyerewaa said she was grateful to meet the streamer and had learnt to always take opportunities that come her way.

"They were teaching us some of the rich culture of Ghana, and making shea butter was one. So we made shea butter. Our shoot was yet to begin when they came to tell us IShowSpeed was coming for the shoot. We each had to smear shea butter on Speed, and we took turns to do that. For me, this part just showed how rich Ghanaian culture is. All I can say is grab opportunities when they come your way, because you never know who you're meeting."

"She has zero street sense. They just used you without knowing. If they had told you beforehand, they would have to pay you more. The owners must have been paid heavily by Speed's team, but they told you it was a photoshoot you're coming for 😅."
