YouTuber IShowSpeed, one of the world’s most followed online creators, is set to receive a Ghanaian passport after his widely watched visit to the West African nation. Ghana was the second-to-last stop on his live-streamed, 20-country tour of Africa, which ended earlier this week. The announcement was made by Ghana’s foreign minister, who praised the influencer for positively representing the country and the continent to a global audience.
The 21-year-old creator, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr, has more than 50 million subscribers on YouTube. His “Speed Does Africa” tour attracted millions of viewers worldwide and was widely praised for breaking stereotypes about Africa and highlighting its cultures, people, and everyday life through live, unfiltered streams.
